"The A's have the thing every team is looking for: pitching depth. Jump, Arnold and Lin are all potential No. 2 to No. 4 starters who throw from the left side. Nett and Morris are either No. 4 starters or eighth-inning relievers depending on how their command develops. Behind them on the team prospect list are upper-level arms including Henry Baez, Mason Barnett, Gunnar Hoglund and Eduarniel Nunez."
"The D-backs ranked 21st in the farm ranking largely because they didn't have any players in the top 50 prospects in baseball and only one in the top 100 at all -- and the long arc of prospect history informs this valuation method. But beyond that elite tier of prospects, they are quite deep with six players from 101-200 and a handful more who were in the mix for that range."
The first 2026 MLB team-by-team prospect big board ranks the top 10 prospects for each of the 30 teams and will receive regular updates during the season. Players already in the majors remain eligible based on rookie rules: 130 at-bats, 50 innings pitched, or 45 days on the active roster. The Oakland Athletics feature notable pitching depth, with lefty starters and multi-role arms who could slot as starters or late-inning relievers, plus several upper-level arms and recently graduated pitchers. The Arizona Diamondbacks ranked lower due to a lack of top-50 talent but maintain depth with multiple players in the 101-200 range.
