On the latest Pipeline Podcast, Jim Callis and Jonathan Mayo take a closer look at the conclusion of Minor League Opening Week and begin to speculate which prospects might be the next to get their call up to The Show as well as the next to climb to the top of the Top 100 prospects list, and with that, Baltimore's Jackson Holliday joins the conversation to discuss his stellar start to the season and more.
The pair agrees that Mets third baseman Brett Baty (MLB No. 19) and A's first baseman Tyler Soderstrom (MLB No. 35) are among those most deserving of a call to the bigs. Also, with current No. 1 overall prospect Francisco Álvarez in Queens and several other top guys set to graduate soon, Callis and Mayo debate the merits of Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio (MLB No. 6), the Orioles' Holliday (MLB No. 10) and others as frontrunners for the new No. 1 prospect spot.
With the frenzy of early graduations so far this year, the guys also cover the newest additions to the Top 100 list and conclude the show, as always, with an answer to one of your mailbag questions regarding early-season standouts.
