The New York Yankees are gearing up to to defend their American League pennant for the first time in 15 years.<\/p>\n

While the Yankees are hoping to make it back to the postseason after a brutal loss against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series, they will be doing so with an updated version of their top-30 prospects.<\/p>\n

With spring training underway, MLB Pipeline released the top-30 prospect rankings for the Yankees, and it includes a slight change near the top.<\/p>\n

Yankees top-30 prospects<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. \u00a0Jasson Dom\u00ednguez, OF (MLB No. 21)<\/li>\n
  2. \u00a0George Lombard Jr., SS\/2B<\/li>\n
  3. Spencer Jones, OF<\/li>\n
  4. Ben Hess, RHP<\/li>\n
  5. Will Warren. RHP<\/li>\n
  6. Bryce Cunningham, RHP<\/li>\n
  7. Roderick Arias, SS\/2B<\/li>\n
  8. Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz, RHP<\/li>\n
  9. Chase Hampton, RHP<\/li>\n
  10. Brock Selvidge, LHP<\/li>\n
  11. Henry Lalane, LHP<\/li>\n
  12. Cam Schlittler, RHP<\/li>\n
  13. Edgleen Perez, C\/1B<\/li>\n
  14. Everson Pereira, OF<\/li>\n
  15. Mani Cedeno, SS<\/li>\n
  16. Cade Smith, RHP<\/li>\n
  17. Rafael Flores, C\/1B<\/li>\n
  18. Gage Ziehl, RHP<\/li>\n
  19. Carlos Lagrange, RHP<\/li>\n
  20. Kyle Carr, LHP<\/li>\n
  21. Jorbit Vivas, 2B\/3B<\/li>\n
  22. Clayton Beeter, RHP<\/li>\n
  23. Eric Reyzelman, RHP<\/li>\n
  24. Trystan Vierling, RHP<\/li>\n
  25. Yeondrys Gomez, RHP<\/li>\n
  26. Thatcher Hurd, RHP<\/li>\n
  27. Roc Riggio, 2B<\/li>\n
  28. Griffin Herring, LHP<\/li>\n
  29. Brando Mayea, OF<\/li>\n
  30. Francisco Vilorio, OF<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Among the biggest changes to the list include the swap of Lombard and Jones at the No. 2 spot. The 19-year-old shortstop continues to impress with a strong spring outing that has included two home runs in the last two games.<\/p>\n

    Meanwhile, 20-year-old infielder Rodrick Arias moved down a few spots from his No. 4 ranking last season, and Schlittler finds himself surging up the list after not being ranked at all in 2024.<\/p>\n

    Both Hess and Cunningham, the team’s first two selections in the 2024 MLB Draft improved their ranking from last season.<\/p>\n
