MLB Pipeline started handing out the Hitting Prospect of the Year award in 2013, and since then, winners have gone on to be All-Stars 26 times over and have won a combined 10 Silver Sluggers, three Rookie of the Year awards and two league MVPs. And those are just the

Double-A Reading spent the majority of the 2026 season proving that a championship-caliber club doesn’t have to rely on just one star.

A whopping 59 players had 20-20 seasons, one less than the previous two highest single-season marks on record combined, including the first two

Be yourself, unless you feel like being something else. This is now an established Minor League Baseball promotional strategy, as teams across the country regularly assume alternate identities in lieu of their day-to-day primary identities.
