Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Gregory Barrios signed out of Venezuela in early 2021.

Winston Santos Strikes Out 12 In Dominant Outing

Texas Rangers pitching prospect Winston Santos is a 22-year-old who signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2019. He gets good velocity behind his mid-90s fastball and has also shown the ability to harness his changeup for strikes and induce weak contact. However, he needs to focus on significant development for his slider. The offering […]

Nathan Church Showing Great Discipline To Open 2024

St. Louis Cardinals outfield prospect Nathan Church was an 11th-round pick in the 2022 draft.

However, he does have some limitations defensively and could be bound […]

Aaron Brown Strikes Out 10 In First Start Of 2024

Houston Astros pitching prospect Aaron Brown is a former ninth-round pick who joined the organization during the 2021 draft.

[…]

Matthew Lugo Showcasing Reliable Bat, Glove

Boston Red Sox outfield prospect Matthew Lugo endured a subpar 2023 campaign at the Double-A level, showing a tendency to commit errors on the left side of the infield, as well as a below-average hit tool.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitching prospect Quinn Mathews was a fourth-round pick in 2023, but he didn't make his pro debut until this April.

Carson Williams Swinging Hot Bat And Stealing Bases

Tampa Bay Rays infield prospect Carson Williams was the team's first-round pick in the 2021 draft. He boasts a strong blend of offensive and defensive skills and is a fringe five-tool player.

Zyhir Hope Making Strong Impression

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Zyhir Hope is a terrific athlete with decent contact skills and impressive power.

Calvin Ziegler Throws Four Perfect Innings Sunday

New York Mets pitching prospect Calvin Ziegler is a former second-round pick who possesses a dominant three-pitch repertoire. He needs to work on his control, but there's no denying the promise behind his mid-90s fastball with rise, mid-80s curveball with lethal drop, and a mid-80s splitter capable of missing bats. A pair of arm injuries […]

Baltimore Orioles infield prospect Connor Norby was one of three Baltimore farmhands featured in our Hot Prospects list this week.

Heston Kjerstad Coming Off Historic Week

Baltimore Orioles prospect Heston Kjerstad is a household name at this point, and he even appeared in 12 big-league games last season.

Jordan Beck Showcases Power In Opening Series

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Jordan Beck starred at the University of Tennessee and has continued to produce in the Rockies' system.

He has improved his ability to read the strike zone over time but still struggles with strikeouts, of which he […]

Quinn Priester Strikes Out Nine In Opener

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Quinn Priester no longer has true prospect eligibility by MLB's standards, but he should be viewed as one given that he is 23 years old, still in Triple-A, and has 10 big league appearances under his belt. The right-hander gets good velocity behind his mid-90s heater and misses plenty of bats […]

Joey Loperfido Slugs Three Homers In Opening Series
