MLB 26-and-under power rankings, Nos. 25-21: Giants, Angels, Rangers hoping their young core steps forward in 2025

Rankings are a remix on the traditional farm system rankings that assess the strength of MLB organizations’ talent base among rookie-eligible and MiLB players.

These rankings value productive young big leaguers more heavily than prospects who have yet to prove it at the highest level.

Toronto 's Vladimir Guerrero Jr. , Andrés Giménez , Alejandro Kirk , Davis Schneider , Joey Loperfido , Will Wagner , Leo Jimenez and Jake Bloss are ranked No. 25 -21.

Top prospect Tiedemann had Tommy John surgery last summer , so we won’t see him in Toronto anytime soon.

Young MLB pitchers Kyle Harrison , Hayden Birdsong , Randy Rodriguez and Landen Roupp are the ones we’ve seen the most of in the majors thus far.

Bryce Eldridge , Patrick Bailey and Heliot Ramos are the two core offensive pieces worth highlighting.

The Angels ' young core struggled offensively last year .

O’Hoppe, Schanuel and Detmers backslid offensively.

The path to contention remains hazy.

The Angels ’ scouting and development groups are underfunded and undersupported. Until that changes, it's hard to see how the Halos salvage the Mike Trout era .
