Pirates phenom Konnor Griffin graduated from prospect status by exceeding 130 Major League at-bats Wednesday, and if we’re going to get a new No. 1 overall prospect, we might as well make some tweaks to the full Top 100 Prospects list. Every so often during the baseball season, we do

A couple of weeks ago, we took a look at the hottest hitting prospect in each organization. Now it’s time to check in on the pitchers. While many of the game’s top young arms are still building up and expanding their pitch counts and innings, there have been more than

In trying times, a New York team once again turns to a Ewing to be the center of a potential turnaround. The Mets called up MLB's No. 78 overall prospect A.J. Ewing on Tuesday for his Major League debut, the team announced. The 21-year-old outfielder/second baseman has hit .339/.447/.514 with

For many Top 100 talents, they travel on a prospect hype train. For Ethan Salas, it’s been closer to a hype roller coaster. Signed for $5.6 million in January 2023, the Padres prodigy ranked as high as No. 8 overall on MLB Pipeline’s preseason Top 100 rankings a year later

The saying goes that relievers are failed starters. If you believe that, revisit how much the Padres gave up for Mason Miller at last year’s Trade Deadline, and then look at Miller’s dominance to begin his first full season in San Diego. After that, look at the three-year, $69 million

WILMINGTON, Del. – Nationals assistant general manager Devin Pearson faced a familiar question during his first Spring Training with the club.

• Get tickets to a Minor League game Before their arrival, the organization drafted Eli Willits (the No. 1 prospect in the system) and Coy James (No. 17) in

The first month of the Minor League season is in the books, and looking at each system's hottest hitter can be instructive. A year ago at this time, Konnor Griffin (Pirates) was showing why he had the highest ceiling in the 2024 Draft. Roman Anthony (Red Sox) and Moisés Ballesteros

On June 15, 2024, Snoop Dogg joined the Brewers broadcast booth for a home game against the Reds and initially doubted the arm strength of Elly De La Cruz on a weak infield grounder. “Oh lord,” the rapper said after the Reds shortstop nailed a strike to throw out Brice

During A.J. Ewing’s breakout 2025 season, he climbed three levels from Single-A to Double-A and pushed his way onto the Top 100 Prospects list. With his latest move, he’s already joining his second level of 2026 with only The Show left to go. The Mets promoted Ewing -- the club’s

Once upon a time in baseball, picking which pitchers had the best fastball was done solely based on how hard they threw. When the radar gun started being used in the 1970s, it was a quick and easy way to measure who had the best heater. But as the game

Pedro Ramírez entered 2026 with a reputation as a hit-over-power prospect. With every passing week with Triple-A Iowa, he’s doing something bit by bit to change that.

Konnor Griffin got off to a quick start at Single-A Bradenton last year and was promoted to High-A on June 10. The way things are going for fellow first-rounder Seth Hernandez, he might be on an even faster timeline. The No. 2 Pirates prospect tossed five no-hit innings Friday for

Don’t put away the bunting just yet. As of last Friday, all four full-season levels of the Minor Leagues -- Triple-A, Double-A, High-A and Single-A -- have officially begun their 2026 regular seasons. But while many low-level clubs have held their home openers, many others -- quite literally half of
