To get you ready, we present Baseball America’s 2024 prospect position rankings. Every player who entered the season with prospect eligibility was eligible for our position rankings.
Below is the 2024 prospect position ranking for lefthanders, and if you click on the team name next to the prospect, you’ll see the organization’s top 30 prospects along with detailed scouting reports for each prospect.
You can find a deeper explanation of the 20-80 scouting scale we used for tool grades here. J.J. Cooper also dives into our grading methodology here.
