While the Giants are in the midst of a disappointing 2026 MLB season so far and while the Athletics are looking to regain some ground after falling to fourth place in the American League West standings, there still are plenty of things to be excited about regarding both teams’ future.

MLB Pipeline recently released its latest top 100 list of up-and-coming players, in which several Giants and Athletics prospects are featured.

A’s prospect and 19-year-old shortstop Leo De Vries landed at No. 2 on the list, who currently is batting .279/.372/.420 with 31 RBI, nine home runs and 28 stolen bases with the Midland RockHounds in Double-A.

Meanwhile, San Francisco’s shortstop prospect Josuar Gonzalez ranks at No. 15. The 18-year-old currently is slashing .411/.522/.607 with 16 RBI and one home run in 18 games this season with the Giants’ Arizona Complex League team.

Left-handed pitcher Jamie Arnold, who was selected 11th overall by the A’s in the first round of the 2025 MLB Draft, is listed at No. 26. This season with Double-A Midland, the 22-year-old has a 4.36 ERA with 81 strikeouts and 38 walks in 15 games.

Current A’s starting pitcher Gage Jump also made the list at No. 37, who currently has a 2.93 ERA with 40 strikeouts and a 1.13 WHIP in seven starts in the big leagues.

Two other Giants shortstop prospects entered the list with Luis Hernández at No. 35 and Jhonny Level at No. 52.

At only 17 years old, Hernández currently is averaging .292/.370/.556 with 30 RBI and six home runs in 39 games in the Arizona Complex League.

Meanwhile, Level posted averages .325/.392/.576 with 47 RBI and 10 home runs in 44 games this season with the San Jose Giants in Single-A, and is hitting .299/.342/.439 with 11 RBI and one home run with the Eugene Emeralds in High-A.

With these highly talented prospects in the farm system for both teams, the Giants and the A’s seem to have the shortstop position locked down for the foreseeable future.

In addition, the A’s starting rotation also has a bright future with Jump already proving himself on the main roster and with Arnold looking to make that next step toward his eventual MLB debut.
