The Tampa Bay Rays have once again showcased their prowess in developing top-tier prospects, and their 2025 list is nothing short of impressive. With names like Carson Williams and Chandler Simpson leading the charge, it begs the question: which of these prospects do you believe will make the biggest impact in the majors next season?
Carson Williams, with his double-plus defense and power, seems poised to take over as the everyday shortstop. But can he overcome his strikeout issues and adapt quickly to the big leagues? On the other hand, Chandler Simpson's staggering 104 stolen bases in 2024 is a tantalizing stat that could redefine the Rays' approach to speed on the base paths. Is he the next game-changer in a league that increasingly values speed?
Then there's Xavier Isaac, whose lefty bat and athleticism at 6'3" could be a force if he can refine his plate discipline. Do you think he can develop into a reliable power hitter, or will his strikeout rate hold him back?
And let’s not forget about the pitching prospects like Yoniel Curet and Jackson Baumeister. With Curet's upper nineties heat and Baumeister's recent cutter success, could one of them emerge as a frontline starter for the Rays?
As we look ahead to the 2025 season, what bold predictions do you have for these prospects? Which player do you think will surprise us the most, and who might be a bust? Share your thoughts and let's dive into the future of the Rays' farm system!
