# 2026 Top 50 Cardinals Prospects: 26-50 - Link: https://www.nyrdcast.com/2026-top-50-cardinals-prospects-26-50/ - Published: 2026-02-16T08:00:00-06:00 - Author: Eugene Tierney ### **2026 Top 50 Cardinals List: The Back Half** [⌊Cardinals Prospect Tracker⌉⌊Cardinals Prospect Tracker⌉[ Each year, I rank my top 50 [Cardinals](https://www.mlb.com/cardinals/) Prospects; this year, I’m breaking it into pieces and giving a little more depth to some of the list. This is part 1, where I give the back half of the list; it’s just a quick ranking because there really isn’t much to say about these guys at this point. A few we’ve seen in St. Louis, while most won’t make it to the big leagues. | Rank | Player | Position | Highest Level | | 26 | [Nathan Church](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/churcna01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2026-02-13_br) | OF | MLB | | 27 | [Cade Crossland](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=crossl000cad&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2026-02-13_br) | LHP | R-FCL | | 28 | [Hancel Rincon](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=rincon000han&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2026-02-13_br) | RHP | AA | | 29 | [Luis Gastelum](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=gastel000lui&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2026-02-13_br) | RHP | AA | | 30 | [Chase Davis](https://www.baseball-reference.com/search/search.fcgi?pid=davis-036cha,davis-031cha&search=Chase+Davis&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2026-02-13_br) | OF | AA | | 31 | [Blake Aita](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=aita--000bla&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2026-02-13_br) | RHP | Hi A | | 32 | [Zach Levenson](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=levins001zac&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2026-02-13_br) | OF | AA | | 33 | [Pete Hansen](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=hansen003pet&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2026-02-13_br) | LHP | AAA | | 34 | [Frank Elissalt](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=elissa000fra&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2026-02-13_br) | RHP | Hi A | | 35 | [Travis Honeyman](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=honeym000tra&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2026-02-13_br) | OF | Hi A | | 36 | [Ethan Young](https://www.baseball-reference.com/search/search.fcgi?pid=young-006eth,young-005eth,young-004eth&search=Ethan+Young&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2026-02-13_br) | RHP | R-FCL | | 37 | [Cesar Prieto](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/p/prietce01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2026-02-13_br) | 2B | MLB | | 38 | [Sebastian Dos Santos](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=dossan000seb&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2026-02-13_br) | SS | R-FCL | | 39 | [Leonel Sequera](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=sequer000leo&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2026-02-13_br) | RHP | Lo A | | 40 | [Mason Molina](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=molina000mas&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2026-02-13_br) | LHP | Hi A | | 41 | [Jack Gurevitch](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=gurevi000jac&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2026-02-13_br) | 1B | Lo A | | 42 | [Brian Holiday](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=holida000bri&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2026-02-13_br) | RHP | NCAA | | 43 | [Colton Ledbetter](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=ledbet001col&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2026-02-13_br) | OF | AA | | 44 | [Max Rajcic](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=rajcic000max&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2026-02-13_br) | RHP | AA | | 45 | [Randel Clemente](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=clemen000ran&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2026-02-13_br) | P | AAA | | 46 | [Matthew Miura](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=miura-000mat&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2026-02-13_br) | OF | Lo A | | 47 | [Bryan Torres](https://www.baseball-reference.com/search/search.fcgi?pid=torres000bry,torres004bry&search=Bryan+Torres&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2026-02-13_br) | OF | AAA | | 48 | [Andrew Dutkanych](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=dutkan000and&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2026-02-13_br) IV | RHP | Lo A | | 49 | [Jack Martinez](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=martin019jac&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2026-02-13_br) | RHP | R-FCL | | 50 | [Matt Koperniak](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=kopern000mat&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2026-02-13_br) | OF | MLB | After I release the full list (which I’ll update the links below), I’ll share my spreadsheet with composite rankings from all the different site I’ve been able to find.
