Overview : From an offensive perspective, I rated and ranked 1,669 MiLB players from Start of Season — May 26th, 2025, with a 50 minimum Plate appearance requirement. 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 rates & ranks, breaking down the top players in this blog, link to the full list of 1,669 players.

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. I then separate those value down into the Hit Tool Rate (SF,SH,1B,2B,3B,HR) + Run Tool Rate (BB, SB, HBP) = Overall Rate.

Here is a breakdown of MiLB’s Overall Rates …

Average Rate 0.141 with a Standard Deviation on 0.030

Excluding the CPX, if you look at 18 players that have posted Barry Bonds Level Production / Mastery (>0.21) with a minimum of 50 AB’s - 9 (50%) of them have been promoted.

Like I do with my KBO/NPB blogs, if I were looking to acquire or in this case promote a player from another league with lower competition, then I need this player to be producing at a MLB above average production or better. Here is a general guideline of MLB overall production rates and where MiLB players stand…

Six of one, half a dozen of the other whether you want to compare player to their MiLB contemporaries or MLB production scale. Using an MLB scale to measure MiLB production opens the pool of players and gives me an exact idea of the ultimate bar I am measuring these players against. Bottom line, production gets you on my radar then I wants to get trusted eyes on you.

New addition to the spreadsheet - I have added a Org Rank, Level Rank, and Age Rank

Pitching

MiLB Pitching Report :

There is limited data on pitchers in MiLB. There’s no end result data besides hits & HR , so I had to use MLB probabilities on the outcomes of singles, doubles, and triples. It’s not great, I’m not going to dive too deep into it, 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 986 MiLB pitchers from the start of the season - 5/26/25 with a minimum requirement of 20 IP (Split Stats). The pitchers are rated the same way in terms of run value but instead of PA innings, but in the inverse manner. Like I said it’s not great, I’m not going to dive too deep into it.

If you are interested in pitching analysis here is a Scouting report for The Ironbirds from 5/9/2025. Nestor German / Dominic Freeberger / Alejandro Méndez

Blogging Schedule :

That’s all for the MiLB report, stay tuned next week for the KBO/NPB Weekly Report. Now that we are about 1/3 of the way through the MLB season and the softball blogs are done, I will be adding something MLB related to fill my time. Not sure what though, let me know your thoughts about topics to possibly write about pertaining to MLB. Specific Team ? Topic?

Don’t forget to subscribe and follow me on Twitter | LinkedIn | Medium | IG | TikTok . If you loved it or hated it, let me know as well, but remember 3 ups & 3 downs. Give me 3 things you liked followed by 3 things you hated.
