Document : College Player Rates & Ranks Report— Amateur

Level : Division 2

Sourced : Baseball Reference Top 100 from Each Conference

Offensive Data pulled : Thursday, June 5, 2025

Pitchers Data pulled: Thursday, June 5, 2025

Overview : From an offensive perspective, I rated & ranked 2,722 Division 2 players from Start of Season — May, 6/5/25 2025. Players were assessed using a neutralized Run Value system to measure their overall offensive production, broken down into two core components:

“The Run Tool”— Captures the value generated from non-hit plate appearances (walks, stolen bases, etc.)
“The Hit Tool”— Measures a player’s offensive impact via hitting
“Overall” — A sum of Run Tool and Hit Tool, representing overall offensive contribution

Each player is ranked in these three categories: Run Tool, Hit Tool , and Overall . This week I’m releasing a list of all the baseball players and I will be breaking down the elite players by age in this blog.

Before I jump into the Top Player Breakdown. I received some feedback from a reader at a game in real life (pretty cool) and they had some questions about what the rates “Hit Tool” “Run Tool” “Overall Rate” mean and how it works…

So every offensive event has a run value associated with it, and I am breaking that down to a per Plate Appearance Basis. So I give every baseball event has a predetermined set run value. This attempts to remove any stats attributed to a player as the result of the team around them. I then separate those value down into the Hit Tool Rate (1B,2B,3B,HR) + Run Tool Rate (BB, SB, HBP) = Overall Rate.

Here is a breakdown of D1 Overall Rates …

A lot of the players do not have ages so I did not add a group filter by age.

Pitching : There is limited data on pitchers in college. It’s almost not even worth doing a ranking, but I felt I needed to put my hat in the ring if this is what everyone else is doing. From the pitching perspective, I rated & ranked 1,793 Division 1 pitchers for the dates of 2/14/25–6/5/25 with a minimum requirement of 15 IP. The pitchers are rated the same way in terms of run value but instead of PA innings, but in the inverse manner. There’s no Batted Ball data, so I had to use MLB probabilities on the outcomes of hits. Like I said it’s not great, I’m not going to dive too deep into it. Link to top 1000.
