Top 25 Under 25 In 25: #25

Each day or so for the next 25 days, we'll be taking a look at the best 25 players in baseball under the age of 25.



25. Prince Fielder, 1B, Milwaukee Brewers


The son of former Detroit Tiger Cecil Fielder, Prince has inherited his dad's mammoth body, and his ability to hit mammoth homeruns. Famously mentioned in the book Moneyball, Prince has blossomed into a good major league player. Fielder already has 11 homers this season, and looks to be a safe bet to eclipse his career high of 28, which he set last year. Although he is certainly a large man, Fielder can steal a few bases and is a good baserunner. His defense is improving at first, and he should develop into a .280+ hitter who will have a high OBP and the ability to hit 30 homeruns a year
