The prospects worth owning, ranked — and where the market has them wrong.

Prospect Alley is our ranking of the prospects card investors should be watching. We put it next to the consensus rank and next to sold card prices for each player's Bowman 1st auto, so the gap is right there.

Built from:
  • the stats, every night, at every minor-league level
  • realtime expert rankings
  • what the prospect shows actually said, every take on the record
  • sold card prices: what each Bowman 1st auto actually sold for, last 30 days
  • our own ranking algorithm
Nothing here is a buy or sell rating; the page ranks, you decide.

Baseball America's James Anderson and Jeff Ponce walk through Anderson's newly published Top 500 dynasty rankings, debating placements at the top of the board and flagging buy-low and role-change candidates for 2027.
