Fifteen games, several jersey swaps and countless highlights later, the second edition of Spring Breakout has officially concluded – and it lived up to its billing.
Of the 16 contests sprinkled across four days, only one game (Dodgers vs. Cubs) was rained out. Coincidentally, the Cubs were one of two clubs competing twice in the prospect showcase, therefore 29 of the 30 big league organizations were represented in the event.
In the end, Spring Breakout featured 68 of MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 Prospects entering the 2025 season, including five of the top 10 and 12 of the top 20 overall prospects. The top overall prospect for 17 of the 30 MLB clubs participated, as did 21 of the 30 No. 2 prospects.

On Monday, Major League Baseball announced the 2025 edition of the All-Spring Breakout Teams, recognizing the prospects who showcased their exciting tools on the big stage with standout performances.
Without further ado, here are the squads, made up of 30 players hailing from 22 different farms systems.
First Team
C: Ariel Armas (CHC NR) -- 1-for-1, HR, R, 2 RBI
A fifth-round selection by the Cubs in last year’s Draft, Armas collected 10 knocks -- four extra-base -- in 49 High-A at-bats last summer. As a defensive substitution in the seventh inning on Saturday, it took just one at-bat for Armas to launch his first big fly since turning professional, slugging a 3-2 fastball onto the left field berm.
1B: Ryan Clifford (NYM No. 4) -- 1-for-4, HR, R, 2 RBI
There are home runs and then there’s the titanic drive that Ryan Clifford laced at Spring Breakout. In his third at-bat, the 6-foot-3, 200-pounder – who sports a 60-grade power tool -- sent a fastball from Nationals left-hander Jackson Kent off the batter’s eye in center. Mets Players Development reported that the blast traveled 449 ft. with a 106 mph exit velocity, which seems about right considering the booming sound it made off the bat. Clifford hit 19 homers across High-A and Double-A in 2024.
2B: Kristian Campbell (BOS No. 2/MLB No. 7) -- 1-for-3, HR, R, 2 RBI
Tabbed as the “Minor League Barry Bonds” by his Red Sox teammates, Campbell has been the talk of spring in Boston. The 22-year-old has excelled at every level he’s competed at, and that now includes Spring Breakout. Campbell mashed the first home run of the showcase, sending a high line drive over the wall in right-center field. Campbell’s teammates Marcelo Mayer (MLB No. 12), Roman Anthony (MLB No. 2) and fellow top 10 prospect Carson Williams (MLB No. 9) each followed suit later in the contest, making the Spring Breakout opener one to remember. Additionally, Campbell was involved in one of the aforementioned jersey swaps, meeting postgame with Georgia Tech teammate -- and former double play partner -- Chandler Simpson (TB No. 7).
3B: LuJames Groover (ARI No. 10) -- 2-for-3, 2 R, 2B, 3B, RBI
Sidelined by a wrist injury from early April to July last season, Groover found his ... groove ... in September posting a 1.000 OPS with three homers in the final month of the season. Invited to big league Spring Training as a non-roster invitee, Groover carried the late season success straight into Spring Breakout. The former NC State standout went 2-for-3 in the contest, tallying a double, a triple, an RBI and two runs. The triple left Groover’s bat at 106.7 mph and was a mere few feet from clearing the wall.
SS: Carson Williams (TB No. 1/MLB No. 9) -- 2-for-4, HR, 2 RBI, BBAs mentioned in Campbell’s blurb, Williams completed the quartet of top 20 prospect homers in the Spring Breakout opener. The lone Ray involved in the home run party, Williams teased that he had to match fellow California native Marcelo Mayer.
“Mayer said he had more pop than me. He hit the homer, I had to back it up.”
In addition to the big fly, Williams singled, walked and showcased his 70-grade fielding at shortstop.
OF: Tai Peete (SEA No. 12) -- 3-for-3, HR, 2 R, 2 RBI
The Mariners’ Spring Breakout lineup featured a whopping six Top 100 bats, and while he wasn’t among the group, Peete stole the show. Taken 30th overall in 2023, Peete was touted as a premium athlete out of high school, and he showed why on Friday at Spring Breakout. Peete was involved in every facet of the game, going 3-for-3 with 2 RBIs, two runs scored and a stolen base. The eye-popping moment from his performance was searing two-run homer that left Peete’s bat at 110.6 mph and traveled 422 feet.
OF: Kevin Alcántara (CHC No. 6/MLB No. 89) -- 2-for-4, HR, R, 2 RBI
“The Jaguar” has been on the prowl all spring and that didn’t change on Saturday. The Dominican Republic native – who had a cup of coffee in the bigs last year – took fellow Top 100 prospect Caden Dana (MLB No. 77) deep in his first at-bat. Alcántara added a single to his day in the sixth and finished 2-for-4 with two RBIs.
OF: Justin Crawford (PHI No. 3/MLB No. 63) -- 2-for-4, 3B, R, SB
Just like his father, Carl, Crawford is known for speed and lots of it. The 2022 first-rounder collected a single in his second at-bat on Saturday and immediately swiped second base, sliding in safe without a throw. In his third at-bat, he once again showed off his 75-grade speed, sending a fly ball off the wall in left and racing around the bases for a triple. Crawford reached 28.1 ft/sec on the knock – 30 ft/sec is considered elite. The 21-year-old outfielder went 2-for-4 with a run in the contest.
DH: Cooper Kinney (TB No. 24) -- 3-for-4, 2B
The Rays used pitching, defense and speed to outlast the Red Sox despite Boston's Big 3 all leaving the yard, and that was in large part due to the 22-year-old Kinney, the 34th overall pick from the 2021 Draft. Kinney led the Rays with three of their 12 hits on the day.
P: Didier Fuentes (ATL No. 12) -- 3 IP, H, 7 K
The 19-year-old right-hander was a late addition to the Braves' roster and then took full advantage of the opportunity, flashing an upper-90s fastball during his three-inning relief appearance and racking up seven strikeouts -- the most of any pitcher during this year's Spring Breakout.
P: Winston Santos (TEX No. 5) -- 3 IP, 6 K
It's hard to do much better than this 22-year-old righty, who logged three perfect innings in Texas' tie with the Giants. He threw an efficient 26 of his 37 pitches for strikes and racked up 12 whiffs along with his 6 K's.
P: Parker Messick (CLE No. 14) -- 3 IP, 4 H, 5 K
The 24-year-old former second-round pick found his footing at Double-A last season and carried that success over to Spring Breakout. He earned the start (and the victory) in the Guardians' 8-7 win over Seattle, scattering four hits across three scoreless frames.
P: Bubba Chandler (PIT No. 1/MLB No. 15) -- 2 IP, 4 K
The top-ranked pitching prospect on Spring Breakout rosters, Chandler enjoyed a stellar outing, flirting with triple-digits and striking out two fellow Top 100 prospects over two scoreless innings in Pittsburgh's tilt against the Phillies.
“Just growing as a pitcher, fastballs can get you through levels, but at the same time, in the big leagues, you've got to be able to mix, and that's kind of my thought behind everything," Chandler said.
P: Gunnar Hoglund (ATH No. 16) -- 2 IP, 4 K
The 25-year-old Hoglund carried over the strong impression he'd made in big league camp, using a mid-90s heater and an improved changeup to log two scoreless frames of middle relief. He struck out Padres' top prospect Leo De Vries for one of his four punchouts.
P: Jake Bloss (TOR No. 6) -- 2 IP, H, 4 K
Before right-hander Trey Yesavage came on for Toronto and had a pro debut to remember, the 23-year-old Bloss began the Jays' 10-0 shellacking of the Twins with two pristine innings, facing one batter over the minimum and punching out four.
Second Team
C: Matthew Wood (MIL NR) -- 1-for-1, 3B, R, 2 RBI, BB
1B: Ethan Hearn (CHC, NR) -- 1-for-1, HR, R, RBI
2B: Max Muncy (ATH No. 7) -- 2-for-5, 2B, 3B, 2 R
3B: Cole Fontenelle (LAA No. 23) -- 2-for-4, HR, R, 2 RBI
SS: Bryce Rainer (DET No. 4/MLB No. 52) -- 2-for-3, 3 RBI
OF: Vance Honeycutt (BAL No. 5) -- 1-for-2, HR, R, RBI
OF: Roman Anthony (BOS No. 1/MLB No. 2) -- 1-for-3, HR, R, RBI
OF: Jaison Chourio (CLE No. 3/MLB No. 59) -- 3-for-4, 2 R
DH: Carson DeMartini (PHI No. 15) -- 1-for-3, HR, 2 R, RBI
P: Quinn Mathews (STL No. 2/MLB No. 45) -- 3 IP, H, 3 BB, 3 K
P: Seth Shuman (WSH NR) -- 3 IP, 3 H, 3 K
P: Thomas White (MIA No. 1/MLB No. 41) -- 2 IP, H, 3 K
P: Trey Yesavage (TOR No. 2/MLB No. 87) -- 2 IP, 2 H, 3 K
P: Ethan Pecko (HOU No. 10) -- 2 IP, BB, 3 K
P: Luis Mey (CIN No. 20) -- 1 IP, 2 K
