S80 FARM SYSTEM INTELLIGENCE · SEPTEMBER 2026

Thirty organizations.
One scouting language.

S80 blends current industry baselines with the concentration of impact talent inside the Release 80. The result is an independent system ranking designed to reward both star power and depth.

System scores are the existing ranking snapshot, not a fresh recalculation. Release 80 membership is synchronized with the player profiles.

THE S80 30

Farm systems,
ranked with context.

Public rankings are inputs, not answers. S80 highlights where models agree, where they split, and which organizations carry the most premium talent on our board.

METHODOLOGY

Transparent by design.

MLB Pipeline's Aug. 16 rankings and FanGraphs' 2026 prospect-value model anchor the industry layer. S80 then adds a smaller proprietary signal based on how much top-end and overall Release 80 talent each organization carries. Baseball America's Sept. 16 system grades inform qualitative context but are not copied into the numerical formula.
