Here's a look at who has ranked No. 1 every year since we began the rankings in 1984. That No. 1 Mets farm system in 1984 set a high bar: Dwight Gooden, Ron Darling, Lenny Dykstra, Kevin Mitchell, Sid Fernandez, Rick Aguilera.

The 1994-1995 Braves back-to-back No. 1s (Andruw Jones, Chipper Jones, Javy Lopez, Ryan Klesko, Jason Schmidt, Kevin Millwood, Jermaine Dye) is also exceedingly stacked.

And I do think we will look back at the 2017/2018 Braves back-to-back No. 1s and marvel at them as well: Ronald Acuña Jr., Ozzie Albies, Max Fried, Ian Anderson, Austin Riley, Dansby Swanson, Mike Soroka, A.J. Minter and more.

Looking at the No. 1s year by year is a very fun exercise. We're not perfect on these (we see you 2001 White Sox), but overall, I think these hold up very well and it just reinforces how impressive it is that Allan Simpson and crew could do so well from the first list in 1984.
