Prior to the start of each season, the Draysbay community takes part in an excercise in which the top prospects in the Tampa Bay Rays system are ranked by popular vote.
This season, the Draysbay community
ranked the top 25 prospects in the Rays system with several others receiving votes but just falling shy of making the cut.
With the 2025 season officially over, we can now look back and see how each prospect performed and whether their stock has improved, remained the same, or fallen over past several months.
An important note:
This is not a re-ranking of the Rays top prospects but a review of the prospects in the order that they were ranked entering the season.
Also, I will not be featuring players no longer within the Rays organization.
#23: Maykel Coret
What Danny wrote entering the season:
One of the top prospects in the 2025 international signing class, Coret is a compelling 6’4” at seventeen, and projects extremely well, with MLB Pipeline assigning 60+ grades for power, run, arm, and field, and a 50 hit. Of course, he’s a long way off, but with exit velos already hitting 104 mph, and plus reports on his makeup, it’s a lot of promise.
Coret made his professional debut this summer, totalling 188 plate appearances in the Domincan Summer League. The only indications we have of how he performed are on the stat sheet and the 17-year old looks to have had a respectable campaign. Baseball America did report that Coret had exit velocities that reached 111 mph and that he didn’t strike out as much as scouts anticipated entering the year.

2025 SEASON NUMBERS:
DSL: .273/.394/.370 | 2 HR | 15 SB | 22.3 K% | 12.8 BB% | 113 wRC+ | 188 PA
Coret may remain in the DSL for another Summer or move up to the CPX stateside next year. Coret’s tools are extremely loud and he could rise up prospect rankings quickly should he be able to utilize them in games. As it is now, the future looks bright for Coret.
So is Coret’s stock improving, the same, or falling?
