Baseball America celebrates the top performances by prospects at every position by nameing a Minor League All-Star team at the conclusion of each season.

This year’s team was selected by BA staff. Players are listed at the highest level they achieved this season.

C Adrian Del Castillo, Diamondbacks
Triple-A Reno

Del Castillo scuffled at Miami in his draft year of 2021 and for two seasons in the D-backs’ system. That tide began to turn this season, when everything clicked for the 24-year-old lefthanded hitter in the Pacific Coast League. Del Castillo led the minor leagues with a .603 slugging percentage and 1.002 OPS and also finished fourth with 65 extra-base hits despite spending more than a month in the big leagues, where he filled in for an injured Gabriel Moreno.

1B Bryce Eldridge, Giants
Triple-A Sacramento

On the surface, Eldridge had a good year. In context, he had a great one. Drafted 16th overall out of high school in 2023, Eldridge played at all four full-season levels of the Giants’ system this year as a 19-year-old. He hit 23 home runs, which may not be an elite total for a first baseman but tied for the lead among teenagers this season. Not many under-20 players top 20 homers in a minor league season, but some recent age-19 prospects to do so include Francisco Alvarez, Junior Caminero and Jackson Chourio.

2B Kristian Campbell, Red Sox
Triple-A Worcester

Campbell charted one of the more meteoric prospect rises of recent vintage. From fourth-round pick out of Georgia Tech in 2023 to breakout prospect of the year a season later, he dominated three minor league levels this season by hitting .330/.439/.558 with 20 home runs and 24 stolen bases. Campbell’s on–base percentage and .997 OPS ranked second in the minors, and he and Andres Chaparro were the only two minor league hitters to bat 400 times and clear the .300/.400/.500 slash line thresholds. Add in versatility—he also plays shortstop and center field—and Campbell is one of the more well-rounded prospects in the game.

3B Coby Mayo, Orioles
Triple-A Norfolk

The Orioles’ run of impact rookies—from Adley Rutschman in 2022 to Gunnar Henderson in 2023 to Colton Cowser this year—will likely continue with Mayo in 2025. The 22-year-old made his MLB debut this season, and while he scuffled with irregular playing time, he torched minor league pitchers while on the farm. Mayo’s .926 OPS for Norfolk led all 22-and-younger regulars at Triple-A, and he finished second in the minors overall with a .592 slugging percentage.

SS Carson Williams, Rays
Double-A Montgomery

It was not a great season for pure shortstops in the minor leagues. Perhaps that is to be expected after so many recent phenoms—led by Bobby Witt Jr., Gunnar Hendreson and Elly De La Cruz—now star in MLB. Still, Williams does a lot of things that portend future MLB success, led by his lockdown glove, power, up-the-middle profile and youth. The 21-year-old’s name litters the pitcher-friendly Southern League leaderboards, while his 20-homer, 33-steal season indicates the quality and quantity of his work.

OF Roman Anthony, Red Sox
Triple-A Worcester

From late second-round pick out of high school in 2022 to No. 1 prospect in baseball this summer, Anthony is on a fast track to Fenway. He is also a “modern” prospect whose surface performance is strong, but his batted-ball data is even stronger. The 20-year-old Anthony hits the ball extremely hard for his age—with a max exit velocity of 116 mph—he doesn’t chase and he doesn’t whiff on pitches in the zone. Pair that with a good outfield glove and comfort in left-on-left matchups, and Anthony looks like a future impact regular.

OF Jaison Chourio, Guardians
Low-A Lynchburg

Chourio has a famous name, and now after a strong full-season debut for Lynchburg, he has acclaim. Carolina League managers voted him best batting prospect, best strike-zone judgment, best defensive outfielder and most exciting player in Best Tools voting this summer. Those are key categories to win—older brother Jackson won two of them two years ago—and map well to future MLB success. The 19-year-old Chourio led all teenagers with 86 walks this season, and his discerning eye and bat-to-balls skills are pillars of his profile, though being a switch-hitting center fielder with range doesn’t hurt.

OF Dalton Rushing, Dodgers
Triple-A Oklahoma City

Rushing was stuck behind catcher Henry Davis for two years at Louisville. Now, he’s blocked from playing catcher in Los Angeles by Louisville alum Will Smith. That’s why the Dodgers shifted Rushing to left field when he reached Triple-A this summer. His powerful lefthanded bat projects to be that integral to future Los Angeles lineups, especially after he learned to turn around velocity this season while holding onto his strong swing decisions.

DH Michael Arroyo, Mariners
High-A Everett

While the 5-foot-8 Arroyo is not exactly a prototype slugger, a late surge in the Northwest League helped make the 19-year-old Colombian shortstop one of the most productive teenage hitters in the minors this season. His 23 home runs tied Bryce Eldridge for the top mark for his age cohort, while he finished top 10 in the minor leagues with his 101 runs and 247 total bases. Arroyo’s ability to elevate at a young age, should help him keep up the barrage at Double-A next season.

SP Bubba Chandler, Pirates
Triple-A Indianapolis

Chandler toyed with playing both ways during his first two pro seasons. He focused solely on pitching in 2023 and then aced his first taste of the upper levels in 2024. The 22-year-old Chandler logged a 3.08 ERA in 119.2 innings at Double-A and Triple-A, with a .189 opponent average and 1.02 WHIP that underscore a pitcher who throws hard, misses bats and commands his secondary pitches better than ever.

SP Caden Dana, Angels
Double-A Rocket City

Dana was the youngest pitcher to appear in MLB this season, but his work in the minor leagues stands out just as starkly. The Angels went way over slot to sign him out of high school in the 11th round in 2022, then pushed him aggressively to Double-A as a 20-year-old this season before calling him up on Sept. 1. Dana added a changeup and curveball to his fastball/slider repertoire and led the Southern League with 147 strikeouts, a 2.52 ERA and 0.94 WHIP.

SP Chase Dollander, Rockies
Double-A Hartford

Dollander checks all the boxes one could want to see from a top pitching prospect. His velocity peaks at 100 mph and averages 96. He throws strikes. He has feel to spin two plus breaking pitches. And in 2024, Dollander got results at High-A and Double-A—2.59 ERA in 118 innings with 169 strikeouts—after being drafted ninth overall out of Tennessee in 2023. Next season, he should get his first chance to test his stuff against big league hitters.

SP Quinn Mathews, Cardinals
Triple-A Memphis

The Cardinals drafted Mathews in the fourth round last year out of Stanford. He would have been a steal in the first round, given the way he pitched this season. Mathews started the season at Low-A and finished at Triple-A, touching all four full-season levels and recording a 2.76 ERA in 143.1 innings. Thanks to enhanced velocity, he led the minor leagues with 202 strikeouts with a 0.98 WHIP that ranked inside the top 10.

SP Zebby Matthews, Twins
Triple-A St. Paul

Matthews showed off sterling control in his first full season in 2023. He took it to a new level this year, pitching at three levels on his way to making his MLB debut in mid August. Matthews walked just 1.9% of batters this season, the lowest rate for any minor league pitcher with at least 90 innings. He allowed just seven home runs and a 2.60 ERA, which are both testaments to the quality of stuff he throws to fill up the zone.

RP Craig Yoho, Brewers
Triple-A Nashville

From the organization that brought us Josh Hader and Devin Williams comes another bullpen sensation. The Brewers drafted Yoho in the eighth round last year out of Indiana, and he advanced to Triple-A in his first full season. The 24-year-old led all minor league relievers with at least 50 innings with a 0.94 ERA, a 42.4% strikeout rate and zero home runs allowed. Yoho is not a flamethrower. Instead, he leans on a changeup with outlier characteristics that he throws about half the time. The results speak to the efficacy of that strategy.
