Pipeline Podcast: When will these top prospects debut?

January 2nd, 2024

The 2024 MLB season figures to see a massive class of thrilling rookies. On the latest Pipeline Podcast, Jim Callis and Sam Dykstra (filling in for Jonathan Mayo) get into the specifics of when they expect some of the most exciting prospects -- the Orioles' Jackson Holliday, the Brewers' Jackson Chourio, the Pirates' Paul Skenes, the Nationals' Dylan Crews, the White Sox Colson Montgomery, the Padres' Jackson Merrill and the Rangers' Wyatt Langford -- to crack the bigs.

The crew then takes a closer look at what worked so well for the farm systems -- like the Brewers and the Cubs in the NL Central -- that were among the six most improved in the 2023 calendar year.

The show closes out with a great question from the mailbag: ahead of the start of the signing period for the Top 50 International prospects, a listener asks which prospect -- aside from breakout Padres teenager Ethan Salas -- from the 2023 list had the most impressive pro debut campaign.
