Baseball America is out with its updated list of the top 100 MLB prospects. Three of them are in the New York Yankees’ organization.
The highest-ranked Yankees farmhand is shortstop Anthony Volpe, who is No. 10 overall.
After delivering the biggest breakout season of any prospect last year, Volpe is primed to show it wasn’t a fluke with his growing power, elite at-bat quality, underrated athleticism and exceptional work ethic.
Then comes shortstop Oswald Peraza at No. 55.
Peraza successfully handled three levels of the minors and made his Triple-A debut in a breakout 2021 season. He’s the best defensive shortstop in the Yankees system and boasts a well-rounded offensive skill set headlined by growing power.

And finally outfielder Jasson Dominguez at No. 87.
A heralded international signing out of the Dominican Republic in 2019, Dominguez has an exciting mix of tools and athleticism. Few hitters his age can drive the ball with the type of impact that Dominguez can when he makes contact.
Baseball America’s list sort of syncs with FanGraphs’ ranking of the top Yankees prospects, which was released last week.
FanGraphs ranked Volpe and Peraza No. 1 and No. 2 respectively. But it listed right-hander Luis Gil as the No. 3 prospect in the Yankees system, with Dominguez coming in at No. 4.
