When discussing the fastest prospects (and frankly, all players) in baseball, there’s the Rays’ Chandler Simpson and then there’s everyone else. Now in the big leagues, Simpson has led scouts to say that he should get at least a 90 run grade on the 20-to-80 scouting scale. Watching him do

Jac Caglianone has gotten accustomed to hitting baseballs over the heads of outfielders. Now the first baseman is becoming one of them. The Royals' No. 1 prospect, a former college two-way sensation primarily focusing on hitting in 2025, started in right field for Kansas City's Double-A affiliate Northwest Arkansas on

It’s not often that in the winding world of Minor League Baseball, you find your way back home again. But for Cooper Pratt, playing for Double-A Biloxi has meant a return to Mississippi -- the state in which he grew up -- in his second full season as a pro.

The Mariners' High-A affiliate hosted Education Day at Funko Field on Thursday afternoon, packing the Everett AquaSox park with youngsters. While classroom subjects got much love, those in attendance also got to experience a one-of-a-kind tutorial in Bat Flip 101 with Seattle prospect Michael Arroyo serving as the professor. After

A number of Top 100 prospects proved worthy of their rankings at the plate and on the mound, while one ended a game with a memorable moment ... and a bat flip. Andrew Painter took another positive step forward on his path back from Tommy John surgery while an unranked

For close to a quarter-century, I’ve had the pleasure of covering prospects for MLB.com. While the emphasis has been about the players, bringing fans information about the future stars of the game, I’ve also had the opportunity to visit some of the greatest Minor League locales across the country. Seeing

Brandon Woodruff’s third rehab start was his best one yet. The Brewers right-hander breezed through five scoreless innings for Triple-A Nashville in a 2-0 win over the Durham Bulls, the Rays’ Triple-A club, on Thursday night. He allowed two hits, struck out five and faced only two batters over the

In the modern era of baseball, it is said there are three true outcomes: a home run, a strikeout or a walk. For most of Allan Winans' start for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, there seemed to be only one: the K. The veteran right-hander fanned 10 of the first 11

We’ve seen our fair share of broken-bat hits in baseball. What happened in Wednesday’s Double-A matchup between the Columbus Clingstones and Chattanooga Lookouts was even wackier than your normal version of a broken-bat hit. The Clingstones' Chandler Seagle shattered his bat on a slow roller that went past the pitcher

Although Mariners teenager Felnin Celesten and Red Sox slugger Marcelo Mayer flashed their potent offensive abilities with homers and multihit games, some of the best work of the day was done on the mound. A trio of hurlers, including Top 100 prospects Hagen Smith and Chase Petty, combined for 24

WEST SACRAMENTO -- A pair of highly touted Rangers pitching prospects will be down for the foreseeable future, the club announced on Wednesday. Right-hander Emiliano Teodo -- Texas’ No. 6 prospect, per MLB Pipeline -- was placed on the Minor League injured list with right shoulder fatigue, and right-hander Winston

If Jac Caglianone has any concern about facing Major League pitching, it sure wasn't showing on Tuesday. And MLB's No. 20 prospect wasn't just facing any big leaguer -- he was staring down future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw. The results: a pair of knocks as part of a three-hit

A new week of Minor League Baseball kicked off with plenty of fireworks. Padres teenager Leo De Vries put together a historic night in the High-A Midwest League, the Royals' Jac Caglianone continued his recent tear and Giants slugger Bryce Eldridge returned with some thunder.

The stars, the planets and everything in between aligned perfectly for Leo De Vries on Tuesday night. "El Mutante" did not disappoint. De Vries put together one of the best single-game performances in club history, made all the more impressive considering he's only 18 years old. MLB Pipeline's No. 17
