He's got some real Tyler Black in him with his HBP and OBP but I'm still looking forward to seeing him next season in AAA. Adams has real, massive power. He hasn't tapped into it yet, but he's a leap candidate.

TBH Kuehner was robbed.

Made ranks #2 on Fangraphs' end-of-season top 100. One of only two (Kolton Griffin) 65 FV prospects.

Griffin and Made have separated themselves from the rest of the group, in my opinion. Griffin reached Double-A and posted a roughly average contact rate on the big league scale after his amateur performance in that area was concerning. He’s built like an NFL tight end prospect, has enormous strength in his hands and wrists, does huge damage on contact already at age 19, and projects to have even more power at his physical peak. Physically, he should settle in the Corey Seager/Carlos Correa area. In the short term, his plus-plus speed will also help his hit tool play closer to average despite what I expect will be a below-average contact rate in the big leagues due to his issues swinging inside sliders. What Griffin lacks in soft and deft hands on defense he makes up for with spectacular athleticism and effort.

The offensive skill set of Made, a switch-hitter who is a year younger than Griffin, is driven by incredible, full-body bat speed and preternatural feel for contact. He’s a better pure contact hitter than Griffin, but his power isn’t nearly as actualized yet, both due to Made’s immature physicality (relative to Griffin, anyway) and the flatter nature of his fledgling swings. Made has roughly average power right now, which is incredible for an 18-year-old, and it wouldn’t surprise me if an offseason in the weight room closes some of the gap between him and Griffin in this regard. Made also has a higher ceiling as a defender, which you can learn more about here. It’s possible that I’ll flip their order when I publish the 2026 Top 100 in February, or that someone from further down my current list will join these two upon a deeper offseason review, but for now these two are in a tier on their own. Look at the shortstop WAR Leaderboard from this season. Even a down year from Gunnar Henderson produced nearly 5 WAR. That’s the range I expect this duo will produce in with regularity.
