Los Angeles — The Los Angeles Dodgers have claimed the number one spot in the midseason rankings of Major League Baseball (MLB) farm systems for 2025, marking only their second occasion achieving this distinction. The Dodgers previously ranked first during the preseason of 2016. This midseason evaluation signifies a notable change in the rankings, overtaking the Detroit Tigers, who held the top position briefly.
The rankings assess each organization’s prospects based on their long-term Major League potential, considering factors such as impact talent, depth within the system, and recent player acquisitions. The Dodgers’ impressive roster showcases a wealth of talent, particularly in their outfield and pitching departments.
Included in the Dodgers’ Top 30 Prospects list are five highly-regarded players: Josue De Paula, an outfielder ranked at 12; Zyhir Hope, another outfielder at 19; Alex Freeland, a shortstop/third baseman at 43; Eduardo Quintero, also an outfielder at 55; and Mike Sirota, who rounds out the list as an outfielder at 66.
Over the past five seasons, the Dodgers have established themselves as a dominant force in Major League Baseball, clinching two World Series titles and ensuring 12 consecutive appearances in the postseason. Their success can be attributed in part to the exceptional talent within their farm system. The organization has garnered recognition for its superior scouting networks and effective player development programs, which consistently yield new talent and solidify their ranking in the MLB landscape.
One of the standout features of the Dodgers’ farm system is its collection of outfield prospects, currently regarded as the best in baseball. This includes their recent Trade Deadline acquisition, James Tibbs, and Ching-Hsien Ko, both of whom are expected to bolster the team’s future lineup significantly.
Additionally, four of the Dodgers’ top five pitching prospects were secured through trades: Jackson Ferris, River Ryan, Adam Serwinowski, and Christian Zazueta. Such strategic moves during trade periods have enhanced the organization’s depth and potential for future success in the majors.
Following the Dodgers in the rankings are the Minnesota Twins at number two, climbing from a preseason rank of ten, thanks to their substantial talent additions at the Trade Deadline. Meanwhile, the Seattle Mariners sit at the third spot, boasting the most Top 100 prospects in baseball at nine, despite experiencing some trades from their prospect ranks.
The Milwaukee Brewers and the Cleveland Guardians complete the top five, showcasing a diverse mix of organizations contributing to the competition for nurturing future talent in MLB.
The evaluations for these rankings were based on data reflecting changes made following the 2025 Draft and Trade Deadline, highlighting how organizational strategies influence player development and acquisitions. As teams assess their prospects midseason, the status of each farm system provides insight into their long-term plans and aspirations for competitive success.
This midseason assessment not only highlights the prominent teams but also calls attention to the evolving landscape of MLB prospects. For the Dodgers, retaining their number one position in farm system rankings reflects their ongoing commitment to player development and strategic talent acquisition, setting the stage for a robust future in Major League Baseball.
