A pair of ESPN.com writers, Keith Law and Dan Szymborski released their top 25 players under the age of 25 lists these past couple of days. Both use different methodolgies to get their top 25 player lists, with Szymborski most notably using ZiPS projections for his list.

As Keith Law points out, Giancarlo Stanton is not eligible for this list, as he’s already 25 years old, and no longer qualified for the “under 25 lists.”

"This list is limited to players whose seasonal ages for 2015 are 24 and under — that is, any player who has yet to turn 25 by July 1, 2015 — and to players who had already exhausted their rookie status before Opening Day. That means no Giancarlo Stanton (he’s already 25) or Anthony Rendon (he turns 25 in June), no Kris Bryant (still a rookie) or Jorge Soler (he didn’t pass the Rookie of the Year limits until after Opening Day)."

That however does not mean there are no Miami Marlins on the list. Both Jose Fernandez and Christian Yelich crack both Law and Symborski’s lists, while Marcell Ozuna makes the list for Keith Law.

Using different methods to get their 25 players lists up, each has some players in completely different spots. Which we’ll see as we go over the list.
