I'm talking anyone who becomes an 80-grade player from an entire set of high school draft and IAFA classes over six years. Even expanding to college drafted, I got one guy when I did a new sim.

Baseball America, one of the top baseball sites around (IMO THE top baseball site) has current MLB 2024 with a total of three current grade 80 players. Three.
I’m assuming DeGrom is as well…he wasn’t listed since on IL so that number is probably four.
80’s are unicorns. BA had Betts, Acuna, and Ohtani as 80’s.
I posted this in another thread but see for yourself Baseball America’s current grades for 2024 MLB starting lineups, rotations, and top 3 bullpen arms. I’ve rolled up the data to visualize reality.
