Here's every ranked prospect on MiLB playoff rosters
The Single-A, High-A and Double-A regular seasons are now over, but there are still plenty of top prospects in action.
The A-level leagues have moved to the championship rounds and Double-A clubs are starting the playoffs, meaning there are just 22 combined teams still playing (out of 90 total), but the talent pool is still very, very deep.
There are a grand total of 20 players from MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 still on active Minor League rosters. That includes four of the top five (all shortstops) and three of them -- No. 1 Konnor Griffin, No. 3 Leo De Vries and No. 4 Jesús Made -- are still teenagers. If you include the final week of the Triple-A regular season and the big leagues, nine of our top 10 prospects are still playing baseball.
Here’s the list of the Top 100 prospects in Minor League postseason play:
Konnor Griffin, SS/OF, Pirates (No. 1)
Kevin McGonigle, SS, Tigers (No. 2)
Leo De Vries, SS, A’s (No. 3)
Jesús Made, SS, Brewers (No. 5)
Max Clark, OF, Tigers (No. 9)
Josue De Paula, OF, Dodgers (No. 12)
Zyhir Hope, OF, Dodgers (No. 19)
George Lombard, SS/2B, Yankees (No. 24)
Josue Briceño, 1B/C, Tigers (No. 31)
Liam Doyle, LHP, Cardinals (No. 33)
Cooper Pratt, SS, Brewers (No. 51)
Eduardo Tait, C, Twins (No. 52)
Gage Jump, LHP, A’s (No. 56)

Leonardo Bernal, C, Cardinals (No. 70)

Hagen Smith, LHP, White Sox (No. 88)
Cam Collier, 1B/3B, Reds (No. 95)
There’s plenty of talent beyond the Top 100, of course. Shout out to the Tigers’ organization for having all three of its affiliates at these levels still playing for rings. There are a grand total of 136 prospects on team Top 30 lists also on active rosters. They are all listed below, grouped by postseason series so you can decide who you want to watch on MiLB.TV.
