Top 30 International Prospects List

Scouting and ranking international prospects is a different process from doing so on the pro or amateur side in the United States. In the draft, teams are primarily scouting 18-year-old high school seniors and 21-year-old college juniors, with every organization having access to the same basic information because every prospect plays in public games. Some teams may spend more time watching certain prospects and they might bring in a handful of players for pre-draft workouts, but whether a team is scouting Carlos Rodon at N.C. State or Brady Aiken at his high school games or with Team USA, every club makes decisions off the same publicly available looks.
