Top 10 Prospect Autographs in 2025 Bowman
2025 Bowman is shaping up to be one of the top Bowman releases in recent years with a litany of Top 100 prospects on the checklist. In this article I will be breaking down my Top 10 favorite prospects in 2025 Bowman and also listing some pitchers to chase. To avoid confusion, you can find a quick breakdown of my different rankings on my Resources Page. I intentionally left some players off of this list for my upcoming article: Top 10 Sleeper Prospects in 2025 Bowman which should drop sometime next week.
10. SLADE CALDWELL - CF - ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS
Caldwell brings plus speed and defense to the table getting the majority of his defensive reps in centerfield. He’s got odd underlying data with high K rates and an elite SwStr% (these stats usually correlate well but not in Caldwell’s case). He hit for average in A+ while transitioning to his 19th birthday which is quite exceptional. I don’t see much power right now or much projection based on his size making his future ceiling very power dependent. Another hang up is his GB/FB rate which will need improvement if he wants to leave the yard more often.
9. JHOSTYNXON GARCIA - OF - BOSTON RED SOX
Garcia was called up to the MLB in August for a quick cup of coffee only seeing 9 PA's before returning to AAA on August 29th. He's got some of the biggest raw power in the Red Sox Organization and was good for 21 HR's across AA/AAA in 2025. His K & BB data both took a big hit in AAA but was still reasonable for a power hitting corner outfield prospect. He spent his time at the MLB level in LF/RF and will most likely profile in one of those 2 positions outside of the minors.
8. CHARLIE CONDON - 1B - COLORADO ROCKIES
Condon had a slow start to his professional career but turned on the heat in the second half of 2025 hitting 11 HR's in 237 AA PA's. While his K#'s and BB#'s tanked a bit, he still produced and had some success at the AA level. His cards are finally back on the rise with the last 2 sales right at $100. 2026 will be a big year for the former 3rd overall pick in the 2024 Draft. A hot start could lead to his MLB debut in 2026 and a mediocre season might keep him in AA/AAA all year. He logged 422 innings at 1B in 2025 so the bat will have to be the carrying tool.
7. LUIS PENA - 2B/SS - MILWAUKEE BREWERS
Pena dominated Low A this season and struggled across a smaller sample size after a promotion to A+. His K#'s got a bit shaky in A+ but he's still very young and has the ability to hit for both average and power. I'll be interested to see how he handles a full season of A+ next year and see if he can reach AA at age 19. He's playing all over the infield and I doubt he'll be a SS at the MLB level.
6. EDUARDO QUINTERO - CF - LOS ANGELES DODGERS
Quintero had a breakout year in 2025 hitting 19 HR's and stealing 47 bases between Low A and A+. The majority of his production did come in Low A but he held solid numbers after a promotion to A+ later in the season. Quintero has a lot of tools that could manifest into impact tools in his future; his speed/power/contact ceiling is very high with no red flags in his stat line. He takes walks and doesn't swing and miss much which are both traits that will help him navigate the upper minors. He could reach AA by the end of 2026 at age 20. I thought about going 1.5 here but I'd like to see a bigger sample size outside of Low A.
5. JOSUE BRICENO - C/1B - DETROIT TIGERS
Briceno missed the majority of the 2024 season with a knee injury but recovered and ended up dominating the Arizona Fall League hitting .433 with 10 HR's. He had a bit of a slow start to the 2025 season, although it didn’t take long for him to heat up hitting .296 with 15 HR’s in A+ before he was promoted to AA. His AA numbers weren’t very good but sometimes that adjustment phase takes longer with different prospects. Briceno has been improving behind the plate and has the ability to hit for both average and big power. If he can put up better numbers in 2026 in his second stint in AA, he should continue to rocket up the prospect ladder.
4. JESUS MADE - SS - MILWAUKEE BREWERS
Made is a switch hitting SS with an advanced approach at the plate and exceptional K & BB data for his age/level. He's likely to grow into more power as he matures physically. He hit 28 2B's this season while playing well under the league average in Low A, A+, and AA. Made handled his aggressive assignments in A and A+ very well in 2025. His K data took a hit over a small 24 PA sample size in AA but that's to be expected. He's got a very high ceiling and a pretty solid floor right now. I'm interested to see how much power he gets to next year and where he gets the majority of his reps in AA defensively.
3. FRANKLIN ARIAS - SS - BOSTON RED SOX
Arias is a true SS with ELITE K data (especially in A+) and a very high ceiling offensively. He played across 3 levels in 2025 all the way to AA and had success at each one along the way. The big question with Arias is how much power he will get to in the future - he's yet to turn 20 and has been challenged age/level wise throughout his career. If he can get acclimated to upper level stuff, get the ball in the air more, and add some strength in the next couple of years, he could transform into a blue chip type prospect. He's by far one of the cheapest 1st autos inside MLB.com's Top 25 leaving him plenty of room for growth.
2. J.J. WETHERHOLT - SS - ST. LOUIS CARDINALS
Wetherholt held one of the highest wOBA's in AAA this season and has a plethora of offensive tools. He has the ability to hit for average and power while holding remarkably low K rates and SwStr%'s. He's spent the majority of his time in the MiLB at SS but will most likely end up at 2B or 3B with Masyn Winn fielding .994 at SS in 2025 at the MLB level. Another hang up (at least from a hobby standpoint) is his age, having turned 23 this month. Wetherholt will most likely make his MLB debut in 2026 pending a healthy start to the season.
1. KEVIN MCGONIGLE - SS - DETROIT TIGERS
McGonigle ran into big power in 2025 making him one of the highest profile bats in all of MiLB. Underlying data (K%, SwStr%, and BB%) creates a very high floor for the future while the power surge creates an even higher ceiling. Maintaining power and sticking at SS will be factors that could affect him reaching stardom at the MLB level. His wOBA's are stupid - and what propels him into the very rare ELITE rank.
Top Pitchers: Jonah Tong (NYM), Bishop Letson (MIL), Brody Hopkins (SEA), Jacob Bresnahan (SFG), Luke Sinnard (ATL), Santiago Suarez (TBR), Thomas White (MIA), Quinn Matthews (STL).
