Over the past couple weeks, Baseball America has highlighted many of the underlying analytical numbers that organizations use to evaluate prospects in the minor leagues by way of Geoff Pontes’ series on Stuff+ rankings and Dylan White’s Hit+ rankings.

Today, weâ€re going to analyze organizational production in the minors from a purely results perspective by focusing only on the players who were young for their leagues. After all, a 28-year-old producing in Triple-A or a 23-year-old dominating High-A may help a team win MiLB games, but itâ€s not nearly as notable from a prospect perspective as a 20-year-old handling High-A.

For this exercise, we are normalizing statistics for league and park factors so that we can better compare hitters’ paradises like Reno to tough pitchers’ parks like West Michigan. To account for age, weâ€re only looking at pitchers and hitters who were at least one year younger than the average normalized age for their respective level.

Below, you can find comprehensive data tables featuring rankings of organizations receiving the most production from young hitters and pitchers, plus stats for the young players who contributed the most in 2025.

A quick explanation of the difference between pooled ERA+ and standard ERA+: Pooled ERA+ takes all young pitchers from an organization, gets a park-adjusted ERA for them and then indexes it against the league. Standard ERA+ takes the ERA+ of each pitcher and weights them by innings pitched to combine them.
