Jenkins is No. 1 for the second consecutive year and ranks the consensus No. 3 overall prospect in baseball. He has a chance to be the best prospect in the sport this time next year, though it's not ideal that he's currently dealing with a sprained ankle.

Rodriguez and Keaschall are top-70 league-wide prospects in their own right, and both are closer to reaching the majors than Jenkins. As long as Rodriguez can stay healthy, he's got a clear path to making his MLB debut in 2025. Keaschall was the Twins' minor league player of the year in 2024 and is currently in camp with the team as a non-roster invitee.

Culpepper, the Twins' first-round pick last year, checks in at No. 4, while Prielipp still has major upside if he can stay healthy. Prielipp, Raya, Morris, and Lewis are among the Twins' pitching prospects who aren't too far away from the big leagues, while Soto and Hill are younger arms with tantalizing potential.

One big riser on the list is Doncon, who is up 15 spots from No. 30 on last year's list. He was acquired from the Dodgers for Manuel Margot and Noah Miller last offseason. One spot behind him is Castellano, who was selected from the Phillies in the Rule 5 Draft and is currently competing for a spot in the Twins' bullpen. Rodriguez, Raya, Castellano, and Cartaya — another former Dodger — are the four players here who are on Minnesota's 40-man roster.

Gonzalez, acquired in the Jorge Polanco deal, fell to No. 18 after being No. 5 on last year's list. Payton Eeles is probably the most unique player in the top 30. And Leon, who is just 16 years old, headlined Minnesota's impressive international signing class this year.
