Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing are the princes of Queens these days, and if they keep up their current levels of play, they could be upgraded to kings by the end of their rookie seasons. Before they debuted in the Majors, we at MLB Pipeline dove into their Minor League

Another month of the 2026 season is in the books, and as the weather has warmed up, so have the bats in the Minor Leagues. The 30 hitters below, our selection for hottest hitter in May for each organization, have been swinging the bat better than most. There are a

Listed at 6-foot-5, 235 pounds as a freshman at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Alex McCoy certainly arrived on campus with the frame of a slugger. But after his first season in 2021 was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he hit only one homer in 27 games for

We say it every year, and it bears repeating again: the Draft is hard. Front offices spend years scouting and analyzing a particular Draft class, but even the best baseball minds can’t predict what will happen with absolute certainty in the years after. Take the 2021 class ahead of its

This is the time of year when we like to look at pleasant developments in the early part of the Minor League schedule. When we did so a year ago, we spotlighted several prospects who were steaming toward MLB Pipeline's Top 100 list: A.J. Ewing, Carlos Lagrange, Joe Mack, Rainiel

At just 19 years old, one Brewers Minor Leaguer outfielder is finding new ways to bring the Payne. Braylon Payne, Milwaukee's No. 12 prospect, homered twice out of the leadoff spot for High-A Wisconsin on Tuesday in the Timber Rattlers’ 6-4 win at Great Lakes. The performance marked his first

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

It was only his second Spring Training, but Ryan Waldschmidt had put himself in a position to visualize his first Major League at-bat. All he was hoping was that it could be as productive as the many other ABs he’d taken at various stops along the way. “I think I've

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.

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

With the way he has been pitching over the last two years in the Yankees system, it only felt like a matter of time until Elmer Rodríguez got his chance in the Major League rotation. As it turns out, that chance is coming this week. The Yankees are calling up

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
