A pair of impressive righthanders have climbed into Baseball America’s Top 100 following the graduations of Nick Kurtz and Chandler Simpson.

Fittingly, it’s fellow Athletics prospect Luis Morales who steps up to help fill the the spot vacated by Kurtz. The 22-year-old Cuban may have may have the best pure stuff of any A’s starting pitching prospect since Jesus Luzardo. He was the lone A’s representative in last year’s Futures Game, and he’s built on that momentum in 2025. After dominating at Double-A Midland, Morales earned a promotion to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Between the two levels, Morales has logged 71.1 innings, compiling a 4.16 ERA with 87 strikeouts and 29 walks. Opponents are batting just .202 against him, underscoring his ability to limit damage despite pitching in some hitter-friendly environments.

Morales was the Athletics’ prized signing in the 2023 international class, inking for $3 million. It’s been years since the A’s successfully developed a high-impact international arm, but with Morales now on the cusp of the big leagues, that narrative may soon change.

Morales joins A’s org mate Gage Jump (No. 66) in the Top 100.

The other new Top 100 addition is Cam Schlittler, who joins George Lombard Jr. as the second Yankee on the list.

Schlittler, who stands in at an imposing 6-foot-6 on the mound, has quietly emerged as one of the most effective and consistent starters in the Yankees system. Though he may not carry the same prospect hype as some of his peers as a 2022 seventh-round pick, his results and trajectory are speaking for themselves.

Armed with a lively fastball and a sharp, late-breaking slider, Schlittler has racked up 97 strikeouts across 74.1 innings this season, showcasing both swing-and-miss ability and improved command. His fastball sits in the 90s and touches 97 mph, while his slider tunnels effectively off it, keeping hitters off balance and inducing plenty of whiffs.

Beyond the raw numbers, Schlittler has shown the poise and durability of a true starter, consistently working deep into outings. His continued development of a usable changeup has further enhanced his profile and helped elevate his stock.
