2024 Top 100 Prospects

The FanGraphs Newsletter, February 15, 2024 [READ IN BROWSER]( February 15, 2024 It's Prospect Week at FanGraphs. And today, we released our 2024 Top 100 Prospects list. The scouting summaries were compiled with information provided by available data and industry sources, as well as our own observations. The ETAs listed generally correspond to the year a player has to be added to the 40-man roster to avoid being made eligible for the Rule 5 draft. Manual adjustments are made where they seem appropriate, but we use that as a rule of thumb. You’ll note that prospects are ranked by number but also lie within tiers demarcated by their Future Value grades. The FV grade is more important than the ordinal ranking. For example, the gap between Paul Skenes (no. 10) and Chase DeLauter (no. 29) is 19 spots, and there’s a substantial difference in talent between them. The gap between Kyle Teel (no. 80) and Will Warren (no. 99), meanwhile, is also 19 numerical places, but the difference in talent is relatively small. You’ll also notice that there is a Future Value outcome distribution graph for each prospect on the list. This is an attempt to graphically represent how likely each FV outcome is for each prospect. For a further explanation of the merits and drawbacks of Future Value, please read [this]( and [this](. If you would like to read a book-length treatment on the subject, one is available [here](.
