MLB Pipeline joined Baseball America in updating its top 100 prospect list one month in, although MLB.com's process is mostly driven by the graduation of former No. 1 prospect Konnor Griffin. It's less of a re-rank and more of a shuffling, but either way benefits Caleb Bonemer, who can now call himself a top-15 prospect by at least one outlet.
Bonemer was expected to be at least an above-average power hitter, but he’s beating those expectations at High-A, where he’s gone deep 13 times through 33 games (one more homer than his 2025 total). That level of impact already overshadows some of the hit-tool risk with the White Sox stud.
Bonemer climbed all the way to No. 15 from No. 46, making him the third-highest riser behind Ryan Galanie workout partner A.J. Ewing (78th to 34th) and Ethan Salas (94th to 52nd).
The White Sox had four other reps behind Bonemer -- Braden Montgomery (24), Noah Schultz (27), Hagen Smith (50) and Billy Carlson (53).
