Updated farm system rankings for 2022

The top clubs continue to show the remarkable ability to graduate marquee talent and still have more in reserve. But now that we’re past the Trade Deadline, prospects have graduated out of the rankings and some of this year’s Draft picks have had a few weeks to get their careers rolling, how does that affect each organization’s rankings?

Take a look at the image above and you can figure out the five teams in the top spots.

With Adley Rutschman leading Baltimore’s unexpected Wild Card push, will the Orioles maintain their place atop the rankings? Might it be the Dodgers, owners of a top-three system three times in the past six years? How about Arizona, led by No. 3 overall prospect Corbin Carroll?

And then we have the Reds and Guardians, bringing the Battle of Ohio to the farm system rankings. Cleveland’s appearance here marks its inaugural foray into the top 10 since the rankings began in 2015. Cincinnati’s also a first-timer — in the top five.

These rankings are based on long-term big league value, including factors such as potential impact talent, depth, proximity to the big leagues and balance between position players and pitchers, as well as ceilings and floors. So read on to see how the top five shake out and why your favorite team ranks where it does.
