Every MLB Team's Top Prospect Left off the Spring Training Roster

With less than two weeks remaining until pitchers and catchers report to spring training, some organizations still haven’t announced all of their non-roster invitees. Typically, an assortment of veteran players and top prospects who aren’t on the 40-man roster are extended invitations to big league camp.

Teams deliberately handpick the prospects they invite, focusing on those likely to contribute in the major leagues within a matter of years. The rest—including many of the prospects invited to big league camp—are sent to minor league spring training.

Here’s a look at every team’s best prospect who wasn’t invited to major league spring training.
