AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST
Blue Jays:
RJ Schreck, an outfielder acquired from the Mariners, had a remarkable first full season with the Jays. He dominated at the plate, boasting a .249/.395/.459 slash line across 105 games, with an impressive 143 wRC+. Schreck's power numbers were off the charts, leading the system in slugging percentage and OPS, and his 18 homers were second-best.
Trey Yesavage, the Jays' top pitching prospect, dominated the Minors before his MLB postseason debut. With a 3.12 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, and 160 strikeouts, Yesavage's performance was exceptional. His K rate and K-BB% were the best among all Minor Leaguers with at least 90 innings pitched in 2025.
Orioles:
Dylan Beavers, the Orioles' 2022 Draft pick, bounced back from a rough 2024 season. He reached the big leagues for the first time in 2025, thanks to his impressive .304/.420/.515 line, 18 homers, and 23 steals in Triple-A. Beavers improved his walk rate and lowered his strikeout rate, posting a solid 153 wRC+.
Michael Forret, a right-handed pitcher, faced some setbacks due to a lower back issue. Despite this, he shone with High-A Aberdeen and Double-A Bowie, finishing with a remarkable 1.58 ERA over 74 innings. Forret held hitters to a mere .157 BAA, showcasing his dominance on the mound.
Rays:
Theo Gillen, the 18th overall pick last year, was an on-base machine in his first full season. He posted a .267/.433/.387 line over 324 plate appearances, with a 149 wRC+. Gillen's OBP was second-best among Single-A hitters, and his walk rate was impressive. He added 36 steals in 39 attempts, showcasing his speed.
Ty Johnson, a 6'6
