FAQ
How The Farm is built.
What is The Farm?
BaseKeep's top 100 prospects. Five boards: MLB Pipeline in-season 100, Baseball America August 100, ESPN Kiley McDaniel, Sports Illustrated midseason 50, and FanGraphs The Board.
Who qualifies?
Minor-league names and MLB rookies with 142 career games or fewer. Graduates over that cap drop off. Unranked on a board is a skip, not a last-place dump.
What is arrival and path?
Estimated arrival is the year the name is most likely to stick. Path is the cleanest route to everyday playtime: the job, the blocker, and the level in front of them.
