Ryan McMahon is a 20 year old third baseman in the system of the Colorado Rockies. He is scouted as a player who has a very high ceiling in all five of baseball's most sought after skill sets. His defense is said to be already at a major league level. The Rockies hope that McMahon will continue to mature into the player they hoped he would be when they drafted him, and because he is so young there is much room to improve on this already phenomenal third baseman's game. His power swing is what is desired in a third baseman, and his ability to hit for average is a work in progress. McMahon is the third ranked third base prospect of Major League Baseball.

 An 18 year old, is the second ranked third base prospect. Rafael Devers smashed pitching in Rookie-ball. He is a power hitter very highly regarded by the Boston Red Sox. He watches pitches well and has a good recognition of where an umpire will be calling balls and strikes. His display of talent in the international market lead him to make it to the United States by the age of 17. Scouts aren't sure if Devers will always play third base because of footwork issues, but as he matures physically he will find his way into a fitting position because of his threat at the plate.

 The top ranked third base prospect in Major League Baseball is Joey Gallo. He made his major league debut in 2015 for the Texas Rangers after a legendary showing of skill and power going all the way back to his high school days. He hit a Nevada high school record 65 home runs. At only 21 years old he broke into the major leagues and quickly people took notice of Gallo's second greatest tool. He can bring a 98-mph fastball that looks like a laser moving across the infield from third base. He will likely have a great career in Major League Baseball for years to come.
