Every ranked prospect in big league camp

You see it every Spring Training.

Invited to Major League camp, there are always prospects who shine so bright under the Florida or Arizona sun that they force their organizations' hand. Given a chance, they swing or pitch their way onto a big league roster or simply make a splash, drawing their eventual MLB debut ever closer.

• MLB Pipeline | Top 100 prospects | Prospect video

Who will be those prospects this spring? Only time will tell. But to become that prospect first requires one thing: the coveted Spring Training invite. Only the best and most Major League-ready prospects get them. That’s the ticket to everything that comes next.

So here's every ranked prospect heading to camp (+ indicates a non-roster invite).

AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST

Blue Jays
Toronto is expected to rotate through options at second and third base, meaning it could be a big camp for the likes of Orelvis Martinez, Addison Barger, Leo Jimenez and Damiano Palmegiani, while left-hander Ricky Tiedemann might have the most MLB-ready tools of any prospect in Dunedin, if he can stay healthy.

Ricky Tiedemann, LHP (MLB No. 29) +

27. Mason Fluharty, LHP +

Orioles
There might not be a more exciting group of prospects in any big league camp than who will be in Sarasota for the Orioles. It starts, of course, with the best prospect in baseball in Jackson Holliday, who could be auditioning for a big league roster spot.

Jackson Holliday, SS/2B (MLB No. 1) +
Samuel Basallo, C/1B (MLB No. 17) +
Colton Cowser, OF (MLB No. 19)

10. Cade Povich, LHP +
14. Seth Johnson, RHP
18. Justin Armbruester, RHP +

Rays
Top 100 prospects Junior Caminero and Curtis Mead and the resurgent Austin Shenton should all vie for a spot in Tampa Bay’s Opening Day infield or bench, and all three will need to let their bats do the talking to earn those chances in Port Charlotte.

Junior Caminero, 3B/SS (MLB No. 4)
Carson Williams, SS (MLB No. 20) +
Curtis Mead, 3B/2B (MLB No. 55)

26. Austin Shenton, 3B/1B
28. Jacob Lopez, LHP
30. Ryan Cermak, OF +

Red Sox
Abreu was a revelation during his first big league callup last summer and is a favorite to earn a platoon role in right field, while Bryan Mata (out of options) and Justin Slaten (Rule 5 Draft) should claim bullpen jobs.

Ceddanne Rafaela, OF/SS (MLB No. 76)

Yankees
Austin Wells is positioned to grab the lion’s share of the at-bats in a catching platoon with Jose Trevino.

AMERICAN LEAGUE CENTRAL

Guardians
Top 100 prospects Kyle Manzardo and Brayan Rocchio have big league starting jobs for the taking, while Rule 5 Draft addition Deyvison De Los Santos could add some much-needed pop to a lineup that finished last in the Majors in home runs a year ago.

Kyle Manzardo, 1B (MLB No. 59) +

21. Petey Halpin, OF +
25. Johnathan Rodriguez, OF
29. Jhonkensy Noel, OF/3B/1B

Royals
Following a hot turn in the Majors last year, Nick Loftin still might have some work to do to carve out a utility role on a surging Kansas City roster. Also, keep an eye on the bullpen competition where high-octane relievers John McMillon and Will Klein figure to be in the discussion.

Blake Mitchell, C (MLB No. 94) +
5. Nick Loftin, UTIL

25. John McMillon, RHP
26. Will Klein, RHP
28. Devin Mann, INF +

Tigers
Colt Keith’s six-year contract essentially settled the biggest prospect question in Lakeland, so instead the focus might be on Parker Meadows’ ability to nail down center field, Justyn-Henry Malloy’s chances of taking his OBP to The Show and Jackson Jobe’s coming attractions.

Colt Keith, 3B/2B (MLB No. 22)

Twins
Only one Top 100 guy in camp this spring, but the Twins could be calling on any of these others -- with perhaps the exception of Matt Canterino because he’s coming back from injury -- in Minnesota this season.

White Sox
Offseason pickups Dominic Fletcher, Prelander Berroa and Shane Drohan all could make the Opening Day roster, though more eyes will be on Colson Montgomery laying the groundwork for a midseason callup.

AMERICAN LEAGUE WEST

Astros
Though the Astros annually produce Rookie of the Year candidates, none of their ranked prospects in big league camp are expected to open the season in the Majors.

1. Jacob Melton, OF +

Angels
The Angels will get some long looks at the next wave of talent, led by their 2023 first-round pick Nolan Schanuel, who made a beeline to the big leagues and should be in their Opening Day lineup.

25. Juan Flores, C +

Athletics
This will be the first look for most A’s fans at their 2023 first-rounder, Jacob Wilson, the son of former All-Star Jack Wilson. Jacob should move quickly through the system thanks to his advanced approach at the plate.

Mariners
Cole Young and Harry Ford were the Mariners’ first-round picks in 2022 and 2021, and the pair of former high school bats are getting ready for the upper levels.

Rangers
Postseason hero Evan Carter is a lock to make the Opening Day roster, and 2023 first-round pick Wyatt Langford and 2020 first-rounder Justin Foscue have a chance to join him.

NATIONAL LEAGUE EAST

Braves
Braves fans already got a glimpse of AJ Smith-Shawver in Atlanta last year, and both he and Hurston Waldrep, the club’s first-round pick in 2023 who made it to Triple-A last summer, should be ready to help out the cause this year.

Mets
Three of New York’s four Top 100 prospects (Jett Williams, Drew Gilbert, Luisangel Acuña) will be in camp to provide peeks at the future, while Christian Scott, Mike Vasil and Dominic Hamel compete for outside shots at cracking the back end of the Major League rotation.

Jett Williams, SS (MLB No. 45) +

11. Alex Ramírez, OF
12. Christian Scott, RHP +

Nationals
So much of Washington’s focus these days is on its long-term future, so expect universal Top 100 prospects Dylan Crews, James Wood and Brady House to get plenty of chances to impress on the Major League side of CACTI Park.

Dylan Crews, OF (MLB No. 7) +

26. Mitchell Parker, LHP
29. Zach Brzykcy, RHP
30. Jacob Young, OF

Phillies
Mick Abel’s the Top 100 guy here, and he could knock on the door very soon, but the surprise of the system is Orion Kerkering, who went from A ball to the Phillies’ postseason roster in his first full season of pro ball.

Mick Abel, RHP (MLB No. 49) +

NATIONAL LEAGUE CENTRAL

Brewers
Even after his record contract, Jackson Chourio will still need to show off all five of his tools to crack the Opening Day roster at 20 years old. Milwaukee’s newest Top 100 prospect Joey Ortiz will also get every chance to win over the club’s third-base job with his special glovework and promising power.

Jackson Chourio, OF (MLB No. 2)
Jacob Misiorowski, RHP (MLB No. 33) +

30. Wes Clarke, 1B/C +

Cardinals
Considering his elite speed and defense, Victor Scott II is just the type of non-roster invitee who makes a big impression on fans. Elsewhere, Deadline pickups Tekoah Roby and Thomas Saggese will try to leave their own marks in their first springs as Cardinals.

Cubs
As they look to get back on top in the NL Central, the Cubs traded for Michael Busch to fill a hole on an infield corner and will look to Jordan Wicks to build on his successful late-season callup.

Pirates
Start the clock on getting Paul Skenes to Pittsburgh now, as all eyes will be on the No. 1 overall pick from last year’s Draft, but the trio of other Top 100 arms in camp are nothing to sneeze at.

Paul Skenes, RHP (MLB No. 3) +
Termarr Johnson, 2B (MLB No. 44) +

Noelvi Marte could be a serious NL Rookie of the Year candidate and Rhett Lowder, the club’s first-round pick last year, could join him in Cincinnati in the very near future.

D-backs
Jordan Lawlar was a bench option for the National League champs in the postseason, but there’s an outside chance he can surpass Geraldo Perdomo to become Arizona’s Opening Day shortstop at just 21.

Dodgers
The Dodgers’ frenzy of offseason moves will make it difficult for prospects to crack the Opening Day roster, though Gavin Stone, Andy Pages, River Ryan, Landon Knack and Kyle Hurt all could get a chance to contribute in 2024.

Dalton Rushing, C/1B (MLB No. 75) +

Padres
San Diego has many holes on its current Major League roster, meaning more opportunities for prospects who would otherwise be MLB longshots like Jackson Merrill, Graham Pauley and Jakob Marsee. Also, catching wunderkind Ethan Salas will be on the Major League side of Peoria at just 17 years old.
