Moneyline presents insights into the future of Major League Baseball with predictions for the top 30 players at each position in the upcoming 2030 season. This final list is the culmination of a series that evaluated players position-by-position, offering a glimpse into how talent may evolve over the next five years.
Travis Bazzana of the Cleveland Guardians emerges as the 30th-best second baseman. Bazzana, who became the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 draft, showcased impressive statistics in his junior season at Oregon State, including a .407 batting average and 28 home runs. His potential for offensive stardom, coupled with the Guardians' success in developing middle infield talent, points toward a bright future.
Following Bazzana, Munetaka Murakami, currently with the Yakult Swallows in Japan, is predicted to rank 29th. Expected to transition to the MLB soon, Murakami is recognized for his offensive prowess with 223 home runs over six seasons. His adaptability as he shifts from third base to first base is anticipated to enhance his impact on the game.
