Following the Spring Breakout talk, Mariners left-hander Kade Anderson joins Callis for an interview. MLB’s No. 21 prospect -- the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 draft -- discusses his time at Louisiana State, his development into a rotation ace and what he hopes to accomplish in his first season as a pro.
In the back half of the show, the guys break down MLB Pipeline’s recently released Farm System Rankings, focusing on the top three clubs -- the Brewers, Dodgers and Pirates -- and chat about how prospects have fared in the World Baseball Classic.
The show ends with a question from the Mailbag about off-the-radar prospects.
