The only thing that kept Luis Hernández and Josuar Gonzalez from entering even more rarefied air as of one of the best single-game performances for any pair of teammates was the fact that Wednesday’s Arizona Complex League contest was just a seven-inning affair. Hernández, the Giants’ No. 3 prospect, went

Ethan Salas jogged out onto the field at Nelson Wolff Stadium for his pregame routine Tuesday night, looked up into the stands and saw a pair of visitors he wasn't expecting -- his parents. The reason for the surprise visit? Taking the field opposite him was older brother Jose Salas.

Four months ago, Devin Fitz-Gerald was a member of the Rangers organization, a highly regarded fifth-round pick from the 2024 Draft. Fast-forward to Tuesday night and the 20-year-old is arguably the fastest-rising star in the Nationals’ system, adding his first multihomer performance as a pro to his laundry list of

PHOENIX – Manager Torey Lovullo walked toward Eduardo Rodriguez in the dugout after he completed the top of the eighth inning Sunday afternoon and extended his hand. Rodriguez didn’t shake it back. He wanted 10 more pitches. He wanted the ball. Rodriguez pitched into the ninth inning for the first

PHOENIX – Less than two months ago, Ryan Waldschmidt was the headliner of the D-backs’ 2026 Spring Breakout roster. On Sunday afternoon, in just his second big league start, he once again grabbed the marquee, this time showcasing the impact on both sides of the ball that has made his

You’ve heard of hitters being on a hot streak at the dish. But you’ve maybe never seen anything like what Henry Bolte is doing right now. The Athletics’ No. 5 prospect delivered his second consecutive 5-for-5 performance during Triple-A Las Vegas’ 13-8 loss to St. Paul at Las Vegas Ballpark

Sometimes all it takes to find a rhythm on the mound is a little change of routine. Or for AJ Russell, maybe even different scenery that comes with a new level. The Rangers’ No. 3 prospect twirled three perfect frames and struck out four for High-A Hub City during its

JD Dix is perennially on the hunt to reach base. Work the count, get plunked, spray the ball all over the field, or even, drop down a bunt. Which is how he discovered a way to unlock some home run pop. Dix recorded the first two-homer game of his career

When Ethan Holliday took a fastball off his left elbow last Thursday, the Rockies organization must have held its collective breath. The 19-year-old doubled over in pain for almost a minute before taking his base. He eventually left that contest, but he wasn't held down for long. Since returning to

In 2021, Robby Snelling was a two-sport standout, committed to play both football and baseball at the University of Arizona. In 2022, he was the 39th overall pick in the Draft by the Padres. In 2023, he was a phenom. In 2024, he was a pitcher struggling to get outs.

For now, Colt Emerson is playing in a liminal state. Recipient of the largest contract in baseball history for a player yet to make his Major League debut, the 20-year-old is a daily presence in the Triple-A Tacoma lineup. That contract, plus the endorsement of the Mariners' front-office brass, has

When the Nationals selected Eli Willits first overall in the 2025 Draft, they landed a player that evaluators thought could be the premier standout from the class in the long run. Yes, he was just 17 years old -- and will play the entirety of his first full pro campaign

Throughout the process of putting together the 2026 Top 50 International Prospects list, scouts and league personnel dialed into that market kept coming back to one thing: Luis Hernández looks legit. The Giants agreed, making the bold move for the No. 1 prospect in the class to bypass the Dominican

April was a torrid month for a lot of prospects. Many made their Major League debuts, signed record contracts and blossomed on the stage presented by a new season. But it was also the month of Franklin Arias and his enormous breakout. So why not have one more major moment

Ethan Holliday has the strength. He has the bat speed. He gets to his launch point consistently, leveraging the ball into the air. And with as much raw power as any prospect in the game, he’s got the ability to hit the ball out to all parts of the ballpark

Andruw Jones accomplished a ton during his 17-year Major League career. Ten times he won a Gold Glove. Five times he was an All-Star. He played in the World Series twice during a career that will find him enshrined in Baseball’s Hall of Fame this summer. But he never hit

As prospects make their way up the ladder in a crowded and talented system, it’s often said “you have to break the door down” in order to stand out. Well, A.J. Ewing appears to have taken that to heart. The Mets’ No. 3 prospect made his Triple-A Syracuse debut Tuesday

There are many ways to describe a no-hitter. Exhilarating. Historic. But … delicious? That is where the New Hampshire Fisher Cats -- playing as the Chicken Tenders -- come into play.

Two years ago, Ethan Salas began the season as MLB’s No. 8 overall prospect. Then a 17-year-old wunderkind who commanded a $5.6 million signing bonus on the international market in January 2023, the hype train was in full force. It may have taken a bit longer than expected, but that

Each summer across Minor League Baseball, there's a hitter who begins his ascent toward the upper echelon of prospect status. It was Konnor Griffin (MLB’s No. 1 prospect) in 2025. It was Jackson Holliday in 2023. And if the first few weeks of this season are any indication, 2026 is

Ethan Holliday spent the spring of 2025 as MLB’s No. 1 Draft prospect, a premier talent with prodigious power. Fast-forward a year later and he's now the Rockies’ No. 1 prospect, getting to put that light-tower pop on display against pro pitching. Holliday crushed his second homer of the year

When you hit the ball as consistently hard as Travis Bazzana does, good things are bound to happen. The Guardians’ No. 1 prospect whistled his second homer of the year Thursday night in Triple-A Columbus’ 6-5 loss in extra innings to Buffalo at Sahlen Field. Coming off the bat at

There was big-time pitching all across Yankees Universe on Thursday night. Cam Schlittler threw a gem at Fenway Park to help the Bronx Bombers sweep the Red Sox. Gerrit Cole made his second rehab outing of 2026 for High-A Hudson Valley. But nobody threw the ball like Carlos Lagrange, who

Hitting two home runs in the same game, while impressive, isn’t exactly rare. But delivering both an inside-the-park home run and an over-the-wall roundtripper on the same night? Now we’re talking. Ryan Wideman, the Padres’ No. 9 prospect, notched the feat during Single-A Lake Elsinore's 17-7 victory over Visalia at

The near-daily dose of George Lombard Jr. dominance of Double-A pitching was served in the eighth inning Tuesday night as the Yankees’ No. 1 prospect rocketed a solo homer in Somerset's 8-5 loss to Richmond at CarMax Park. Lombard’s homer was his second in as many games, marking the second
