This list was compiled using the top 100 prospect lists of five popular sites: Baseball America, MLB Pipeline, Baseball Prospectus, Fangraphs, and Fantrax. It is not an extensive ranking of each team by their full farm system, but a ranking of each team by the total and the quality of the top prospects they own in the league. These rankings are mostly based on the opinion of real scouts and enthusiasts, with myself serving as a tie-breaker.
Some teams had zero players on these site’s top 100 prospect lists. The Houston Astros, New York Yankees, and Baltimore Orioles were not included for only having one or less prospect(s) present on five all lists. Below are the totals from each division.
