Which Top-100 MLB Hitting Prospects are Performing the Best this Season?

It's been a bit since we took a look at stats for MLB top-100 prospects, so let's do just that in this story.

We will only cover prospects in the minor leagues, so no guys who are currently in the MLB. We'll break things down by stats, and dwindle the list of prospects to ones with at least 100 plate appearances this season.

Top Averages

Chicago Cubs' Moises Ballesteros was sent back down to Triple-A, so he qualifies for this story. He has the top average (.342) among top-100 prospects with at least 100 plate appearances.

He has 173 plate appearances total, with 18 of those coming at the big league level. Ballesteros has 53 total hits, including 12 extra-base knocks, along with 21 RBIs, 16 walks, three stolen bases, 22 runs scored and 17 strikeouts.

He should get another crack at the big leagues at some point in 2025. Ballesteros did some solid things in his first taste of the MLB, but the playing time wasn't available for him to remain up there.

Boston's Franklin Arias has a .333 average across 168 plate appearances at Single-A and High-A. He has 86 plate appearances at Single-A and then 82 at High-A.

Arias has 11 extra-base hits among his 51 total knocks. He also has 26 RBIs, five stolen bases, 22 runs scored, 13 walks and 20 strikeouts to his name.

The No. 57 overall prospect has a 2027 ETA, so he's a ways off from debuting at the big league level. He could be a quick riser though, and is still only 19 years old.

Kansas City's Jac Caglianone has a .323 average across 184 plate appearances at Double-A and Triple-A. He just got promoted to AAA, so he has just nine plate appearances there.

Caglianone has 52 total hits on the season, including 17 extra-base knocks. He also has 43 RBIs, two stolen bases, 32 runs scored, 19 walks and 39 strikeouts to his name.

He's the No. 10 prospect in the game and has a 2025 ETA despite being drafted last summer. The 22-year-old could be called up before the All-Star break if he continues to deliver at AAA.

Highest On-Base Percentages

Arizona's Slade Caldwell and Ryan Waldschmidt lead top-100 prospects in on-base percentage.

Caldwell is getting on base at a ridiculous .481 clip acoss 163 plate appearances at Single-A. He has 35 total hits and 37 walks. Caldwell has 16 extra-base hits, 14 RBIs, nine stolen bases, 30 runs scored and a whopping 50 strikeouts.

He's the No. 99 overall prospect and has a 2028 ETA. Caldwell was drafted 29th overall in last year's draft, and is just 18 years old. He could move up his big league debut with more strong results at the plate.

Waldschmidt is the No. 100 prospect and has a 2027 ETA after being drafted in 2024. He is 22 years old and plays in High-A, but he could move his ETA up with more strong results.

Waldschmidt has 37 hits and 38 walks to his name. He's collected 14 extra-base hits, along with 27 RBIs, four stolen bases, 38 runs scored and 35 strikeouts.

Boston's Roman Anthony has a .449 OBP so far this season. He's played all his games at Triple-A.

Anthony has 49 hits and 18 walks across 196 plate appearances. He has 16 extra-base hits, 18 RBIs, 33 runs scored, three stolen bases and 39 strikeouts.

Anthony is the new No. 1 prospect in baseball, and could be called up at any point by the Red Sox. He's already shown all he needs to at Triple-A, now he just needs an opportunity to present itself in the big leagues.

Most Total Bases

The top-100 prospects leading the way in total bases are almost all in the big leagues. Nick Kurtz, Jordan Lawlar and Agustin Ramirez rank first, second and fourth, respectively, and Caglianone is third.

Seattle's Lazaro Montes is in fifth with 83 total bases. Washington's Brady House also has 83 total bases.

Montes is playing at High-A and has gotten 176 plate appearances this season. He has 21 extra-base hits among his 40 total knocks. Montes also has 27 RBIs, two stolen bases, 22 runs scored, 29 walks and 45 strikeouts.

Montes is the No. 36 prospect in the MLB and has a 2026 ETA despite still being in High-A. The 20-year-old could be a quick riser the rest of this season, and is due for a promotion at any time now.

House has gotten 189 plate appearances this season, all at Triple-A. He has 18 extra-base hits among his 48 total knocks, along with 25 RBIs, 28 runs scored, 15 walks and 52 strikeouts.

House is the No. 95 prospect in the game, and is expected to debut at some point this season. He's just 21 years old, and appears to have proved all he needs to at Triple-A.

Most RBIs

Caglianone leads the way with his 43 RBIs so far. Boston's Marcelo Mayer is second with 41 RBIs.

Across 189 plate appearances at Triple-A, Mayer has 14 extra-base hits, 44 total knocks, 20 walks, two stolen bases, 29 runs scored and 37 strikeouts.

He's the No. 8 prospect in baseball, and is another Red Sox who is expected to debut sometime in 2025. He's performing well in his first crack at Triple-A, but probably needs a bit more seasoning before he's ready for a crack at the big leagues.

Chicago White Sox' Braden Montgomery has 34 RBIs so far this season. He also has 18 extra-base hits among his 43 total knocks between stops at Single-A and High-A. Montgomery also has 26 runs scored, 22 walks, seven stolen bases and 34 strikeouts.

Montgomery is the No 38 prospect in baseball, and has a 2027 ETA. The 22-year-old could maybe debut in 2026 if he shines at each minor league level - he has basically the same numbers in High-A as he did in Single-A.

LA Dodgers' Alex Freeland is another top-100 prospect with over 30 RBIs, sitting at 31 so far. He also has 20 extra-base knocks among his 49 total hits. Freeland has racked up 29 walks, eight stolen bases, 28 runs scored and 58 strikeouts as well.

He's ranked 48th among the top prospects and has a 2025 ETA. He's playing at Triple-A now and got some experience there to end last season, so he just needs an opportunity to open at the big league level to get the call.

Stolen Bases

Pittsburgh's Konnor Griffin leads top-100 prospects with 17 stolen bases so far. He has gotten to that mark across 164 plate appearances at Single-A.

Griffin has 16 extra-base hits among his 47 total hits this season. He also has six walks, 34 runs scored and 45 strikeouts.

The No. 37 prospect in baseball has a 2028 ETA and is just 19 years old. He's looked really good to start his minor league career, and could move that ETA up with more strong play as he works through the minor leagues.

New York Yankees' George Lombard Jr. has 15 stolen bases across 165 plate appearances at High-A and Double-A this season. He also has 10 extra-base hits among his 35 total knocks, along with 18 RBIs, 29 runs scored and 33 walks and strikeouts.

He's ranked 44th and has an ETA of 2027. The 19-year-old is struggling a bit in his brief time at Double-A so far, but he's still probably ahead of track for that ETA.

Milwaukee's Jesus Made and Philadelphia's Justin Crawford have 14 stolen bases each.

Made has 149 plate appearances at Single-A. He's collected 11 extra-base hits over his 36 total knocks, along with 23 RBIs, 21 walks, 24 runs scored and 33 strikeouts.

He's the No. 23 prospect in baseball as just an 18-year-old. His ETA is 2028, but that could be moved up if he continues to shine in the minor leagues.

Crawford is at Triple-A, and has gotten 194 plate appearances there so far. He has 55 total knocks, including 14 extra-base hits. Crawford has 14 RBIs, 32 runs scored, 18 walks and 39 strikeouts so far this season.

He's ranked 56th overall and has a 2026 ETA despite being in Triple-A. Crawford is 21 years old. He might debut at some point in 2025, but there'd likely need to be a long-term injury to a Phillies' outfielder to get him promoted.
