Now that you’ve started to thaw out and have taken in the deep prospects playing at second base, your reward is ready. Allow the top two tiers of The Dynasty Guru’s Top 45 Consensus Secpmd Base Prospects to get your blood flowing again to your extremities, as you read through some dazzling comments by Brian and Daniel Labude.

Tier 3 #14 – 30

The third tier of second base prospects has some surprising value players ripe for the taking. Jeral Perez has big time power and a swing geared towards launching the ball in the air. He has an outside chance of becoming the next Dan Uggla, check out my prospect spotlight on him coming out later this afternoon. Juan Brito is another power bat that is often forgotten, it could have been because he missed a large chunk of the 2025 season due to injury. In 2024, he hit 21 home runs at Triple-A Columbus and saw his average launch angle in 2025 sit at 18.9°. He gets the ball into the air and lets it fly. The one thing he has on his fellow prospects in this tier is plate discipline. Back in 2024, he walked at a 13.5% clip and only struck out 16.1% of the time. Look for him to get back on the map if he stays healthy in 2026. (Brian Labude)

The name to know in this tier is Marconi German. The Washington Nationals switch hitting, DSL standout did just about everything you love to see from a 17-year-old just getting a taste of minor league baseball. In the DSL this past year, he slashed .283/.479/.513 with eight home runs, 33 steals, a walk rate over 20%, and a strikeout rate below 20%. His 159 wRC+ was one of the better marks down on the island, and he could make a big statement in 2026 with a spectacular stateside debut. If he plays just as well, we could see the next Luis Peña with a true five-tool star teenager for the Nationals. He might not have the same hit tool as Peña, so the key number to monitor will be his OBP. It was fueled by 16 hit-by-pitches last year, and when facing pitchers who know where the ball may go, could see a drop in his OBP. His hit tool would then need to be more of a factor and that is still a slight unknown. (Daniel Labude)

Tier 4 #31 – 40

I’m not gonna lie to you, tier four and beyond for second base prospects is bleak, to say the least. The position is not deep at all, but there is a prospect I have my eye on down here, Juan Ortuno. Last year he played in just 24 games between Rookie-ball and Single-A Wilson for the Milwaukee Brewers. It seems the Brewers can’t go wrong with any of their prospects right now. He displayed great plate discipline in the DSL and complex leagues so far, walking more times than he has struck out. He had a high groundball rate in 2025, but his home runs per flyball rate sat at an elite tier, 21.4% (95th percentile). If he can keep those that rate high and hit the ball in the air more he might become a decent home run threat. It’s something worth monitoring for him as the minor league season starts up this year.

This tier has some wild cards and some crazy statlines, but none may be more insane than Adrian Pinto’s in 2025. The 23-year-old, who is listed at only 5-foot-6 and 156 pounds slashed .284/.376/.608 over 19 games at High-A Vancouver. What may be unsustainable and just as equally confusing was that he hit seven home runs and three doubles in the small sample. Injuries have been a big issue for Pinto over the years, with his career high of games coming in 2021 at 54 games in the DSL. If he can stay healthy this year, he may get on track to pushing up into the upper minor leagues. The power might not be real, but he is a great prospect to root for.

Another top DSL bat resides in this tier, and that is Sebastian Dos Santos. He had a 158 wRC+ last year there and added four home runs, 13 doubles, and four triples. He walked more than he struck out (18.1% to 17.5%) and hit to a slash line of .313/.452/.570. He is definitely a name to watch as he makes his stateside debut in 2026. All the markers are there to have another DSL riser hit the ground running and see his value rise down the road. (Daniel Labude)
