ESPN's Keith Law has updated his top 25 prospect list, four months after publishing his top 100. You'll need Insider to view these articles. I can vouch that it's a good investment. A few notes:
- Eight members of Law's offseason top 25 are not in his current top 25 because they are in the Majors: Domonic Brown (#3 in February), Eric Hosmer (5), Zach Britton (11), Kyle Drabek (13), Jeremy Hellickson (14), Aroldis Chapman (15), Brandon Belt (17), and Michael Pineda (21).
- 11 players moved into the top 25. Cardinals righty Carlos Martinez made the biggest leap, from #52 to #25. Brett Lawrie, Anthony Rizzo, Lonnie Chisenhall, Jarred Cosart, and Manny Machado also climbed at least 16 spots.
- Aaron Hicks, Mike Moustakas, and Tyler Matzek fell out of Law's top 25 despite eight openings being created by players graduating to the Majors.
- Mike Trout and Bryce Harper maintained their #1-2 rankings as the best prospects in baseball.
