Putting together the Baseball America Top 100 Prospects is one of our most enjoyable (and extensive) exercises.

Before arriving at one universal list, we encourage our reporters to compile personal “Top 150s.” These individual lists set the table for weeks of additional reporting, vetting and discussion before arriving at the end result: The 2024 Top 100 Prospects.

Today, we’re giving Baseball America subscribers a look at how the process starts. Below you can find initial Top 50 rankings from Josh Norris, Geoff Pontes, J.J. Cooper, Matt Eddy, Carlos Collazo and Kyle Glaser.
