Which MLB Infield Prospect Would You Pick?

At Baseball America, we spend a lot of time gathering information, talking to scouts and watching players ourselves to try to figure out how to line players up in our rankings.

Here’s your opportunity to try your hand at trying to decide who you like. Here’s a trio of players to debate and discuss to eventually decide who you like the best.

The Player Breakdown

These three players have all multiple positions, including shortstop, but all three are best defensively and best fits in the major leagues at second base.

All three reached Triple-A in 2024. All three had to fight to get noticed as prospects, as none were viewed as likely big leaguers coming out of college.

They are very similar in age as well. Player A will play the 2025 season as a 25-year-old. Player B will turn 24 halfway through the 2025 season. And Player C will play the 2025 season as a 25-year-old.

Player C bats lefty, while Player A and B hit righthanded.

Player A hit .275/.377/.451 in a 90-game season largely spent at Triple-A in the International League. He had 25 doubles, two triples and 10 home runs in those 90 games and stole 31 bases in 35 tries. Player A played primarily second base, but also spent plenty of time at third base. He has gotten spot starts at shortstop and left field as well.

Player B hit .293/.437/.401 in 122 games at Triple-A. Unlike the other two, he spent the entire season in the International League. He had 20 doubles, three triples, seven home runs and 13 steals in 19 attempts. Player B is the only one of the three who played more games at shortstop than second base in 2024. He played 51 games at shortstop, 35 at third base and 19 at second base. Player B has never played a game in the outfield. He was the only one of these three players to be a top 10 round pick.

Player C hit .307/.435/.497 at three levels, but played 64 games in the International League. He had 19 doubles, eight triples and 12 home runs with 41 steals in 51 attempts. Player C played 63 games at second base, 27 at shortstop and nine at third base. He also played eight games in left field, three in center and two in right field.
