Michael Arroyo would make his MLB debut this season after a solid year in the upper levels of MiLB. He was the only Mariners prospect this year to hit 15 or more HR while keeping their K% under 17%. Arroyo offers a fun profile, one that swings often and has the bat-to-ball skills to generate consistent contact from it. He swung 54% of the time in Double/Triple-A, and posted an 81.9% Contact% and .283 batting average.

Felnin Celesten was one of just five Mariners prospects to hit at least 15 HR while stealing 25 bases. Out of those five, he was the youngest to meet that criteria at just 20 years old at the time. It was a career year for Celesten, as before 2026, he never hit more than six home runs in a single season. While his K% raised upon a promotion to Double-A, the switch-hitter was one of the most exciting prospects in Seattle’s system this year.

Jackson Chourio must’ve listened to our series predictions on @ToolshedPod… He wants that World Series MVP!

Jefferson Rojas is off to a great start in LIDOM. He has five hits in his first six games, slashing .250/.318/.600 with a .918 OPS. He’s the only hitter in the league with multiple home runs and stolen bases. #LGM

Ethan Salas made his long-awaited MLB debut this season after returning to form as one of the game’s best prospects. He was the only non-DSL Padres prospect under 21 years old to own a K% under 15% on the year. Salas’ swing decisions and whiff avoidance is elite, especially for his age. His 16% K% at Double-A ranked him in the 90th percentile, while his 15.4% Whiff% put him in the 97th percentile. A remarkable bounce-back season.

There’s 15 bats in LIDOM with at least seven hits. Two of those bats are the youngest in the league: Jesús Made (MIL) Roldy Brito (COL) The pair of 19 year old prospects both have an OPS over .800 to start their offseason campaigns.

Edward Florentino continued to show some of the best raw power in the entire Pirates organization this season. He finished the season with 27 HR and a .274 ISO, the highest mark in the entire farm. Florentino’s swing is tailored for hitting homers. He registered a 32.4% PullAir% that ranked in the 97th percentile. This feel for lifting the ball paired with a selective approach that limits chase makes him one of the most exciting young power-hitting prospects in baseball.

There were only two pitching prospects in baseball this season to post an ERA under 2.50 and a K% over 40% with at least 70 innings pitched. Those pitchers were Kade Anderson, and Pirates 2025 first round pick Seth Hernandez. His ability to get swing-and-miss is elite. While he struggled to limit hard-hit contact, hitters were rarely able to get quality contact off his stuff, as he held them to a .181 batting average. He’ll be the game’s next best pitching prospect.
