Triple-A prospects

One phone call from the majors — the shortest timeline to a debut, and the narrowest remaining gap between a prospect's price and a major-league player's.

What Triple-A is

Triple-A is the level immediately below the majors. Rosters mix top prospects on the doorstep with experienced players on call-up standby, and the schedule runs alongside the major-league season.

What it means for a card

The shortest timeline of any level, which cuts both ways. A debut is the event the market has been paying forward for, so much of the re-rating a buyer is hoping for happens AROUND the call-up rather than after it — and a player who arrives is no longer a prospect, which is the point at which this app stops covering him.

We track 1,617 players at Triple-A. 557 have enough behind them — a real stat line or market evidence — for a page of their own. The rest are followed and will appear here as data lands.

Top of the level

Best-rated first, by the same prospect score the board uses.

A cross-section of the rest

Sampled at even intervals down the rest of the level, so this shows the middle and the tail rather than only the peak — and so every player we track has a way in from here.
