How to find the best prospects in MLB The Show 20 Franchise Mode

We define prospects as those in Triple-A, Double-A, or Single-A ball. The highest OVR is important, but age and potential is also crucial. Position is key too. A starting pitcher can be converted to closer, but not the other way around.

Likewise, you can take a shortstop prospect and put them at third or first, but trying to put a first baseman at short will get you in all kinds of trouble.

So, OVR, age, position, and potential… That’s a tough combo to balance. Let’s take a look at the best prospects in MLB The Show 20.

Korey Lee, Houston Astros (75 OVR)

League: AA

Position: C

Age: 21

Potential: A

Catchers don’t offer a lot of positional flexibility, but they are also incredibly hard to find.

At 21 and with A potential, Korey Lee is a quality prospect. With 76 speed, 75 blocking, and 72 arm strength he can hold his own behind the plate and take extra bases.

He’s only got 55 contact vs L and 52 power vs L, but he has plenty of time to improve at the plate.

Jalen Miller, San Francisco Giants (75 OVR)

League: AA

Position: 2B

Age: 22

Potential: B

Jalen Miller brings quality 84 durability, 81 speed, and 80 reaction to the diamond already.

He has B potential, but at 22 and with good stats already he is a strong prospect. He has 69 fielding, 55 contact vs L, and 54 power vs L.

Michael Baird, St Louis Cardinals (75 OVR)

League: AA

Position: SP

Age: 24

Potential: B

Michael Baird brings a lot of potential to your team. With 84 stamina and 72 velocity he can pitch deep into games.

He has a 94 MPH four-seam fastball and 83 MPH slider to really keep hitters on their toes.

Jason Haley, Miami Marlins (73 OVR)

League: A

Position: SP

Age: 18

Potential: B

Jason Haley still has a long way to go before hitting the Majors, but as a teenager and already at 73 OVR he is a remarkable prospect.

With a four-pitch repertoire Haley has a running fastball at 92 MPH along with a curveball, slider, and sinker for variety. His 82 stamina, 76 break, and 73 velocity should all improve well as he progresses.

Jasson Dominguez, New York Yankees (72 OVR)

League: AA

Position: CF

Age: 17

Potential: A

An absolute speedster with 94 speed, the Yankees teenager offers a lot. With 84 reaction and 78 fielding already he will be a Gold Glove winner in the future. At the plate he has 55 & 54 contact (L/R) but as a pinch-runner & defensive sub he is already MLB-ready.

Greg Jones, Tampa Bay Rays (72 OVR)

League: AA

Position: SS

Age: 21

Potential: A

Another fast prospect, Greg Jones brings 92 speed and 84 reaction to the field.

His glove-work (67 fielding) needs some polish, and he is lacking at the plate right now with 56 & 55 contact (L/R) but with time he can become an all-round player.

Alek Manoah, Toronto Blue Jays (72 OVR)

League: AA

Position: SP

Age: 22

Potential: A

A starting pitcher prospect with four pitches already, Alek Manoah is a quality young player. A big righty, he has 76 velocity and 71 stamina.

He’s got a four- and two-seam fastball along with a slider and changeup for strikeout pitches.

Tanner Tully, Cleveland Indians (73 OVR)

League: AA

Position: SP

Age: 24

Potential: B

Quality left-handed pitchers are tough to find, so Tanner Tully is next up.

With 84 stamina he can go for inning after inning, and he has a deadly four-pitch repertoire of four-seam fastball, curveball, changeup, and slider.

Ryne Birk, Los Angeles Angels (73 OVR)

League: AA

Position: 2B

Age: 25

Potential: A

A left-handed hitting second baseman, Ryne Birk is ready to move up soon.

He has 73 speed, 72 reaction, and 70 fielding already. With 55/50 contact (R/L) he won’t hit much just yet, but that will improve.

Donovan Casey, Los Angeles Dodgers (73 OVR)

League: AA

Position: LF

Age: 23

Potential: B

Donovan Casey is not your normal corner-outfield prospect, he can actually field!

With 82 speed, 81 reaction, and 64 fielding he is a lot better than most. He also comes with 85 durability, 63 power vs L, and a nice 72 arm strength.
