SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- On July 12, Dalton Wentz was having a terrible time on the golf course with his dad. It wasn’t so much the 9-iron or his putter that was bugging him but the fact that Day 1 of the 2026 MLB Draft had come and gone and his

The release of the Arizona Fall League rosters always acts as a wonderful balm for prospect fans. The Minor League season is winding down with the postseason and the fear of not being able to track future stars until next season is assuaged with the knowledge that some of the

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Dax Kilby was one of the best hitters in the 2025 high school class, which is why the Yankees selected him 39th overall and signed him for $2,797,500. He has lived up to that reputation, batting .290/.438/.435 with more walks than strikeouts in 51 Single-A games, though

Scott Harris was a man of his word.

When Braylon Payne arrived at the Brewers' Double-A affiliate on Aug. 14 through to the end of the season, the Biloxi Shuckers may as well have been a Minor League All-Star team. Among those to roll through the Southern League club in 2026 were three Top 100 prospects (Jesús Made,

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Arizona is in Mason White's blood. He was born in Tucson, earned Arizona state 4-A high school player of the year honors at the city's Salpointe Catholic HS in 2022 and stayed home to hit 49 homers in three college seasons at the University of Arizona. Now

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- For a while, it looked like Yasser Mercedes had become a full-time resident of Fort Myers, Florida.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- There were 2,402 pitchers who accrued at least 30 innings this season across the Minor Leagues -- and nobody struck out a higher percentage of hitters than the D-backs' Joe Ariola (45.8%). The 6-foot-2 southpaw doesn't throw in the triple digits. He doesn’t spin the ball at

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. –- Jorgelys Mota knows a thing or two about making a loud first impression.

Benny Agbayani only played parts of four seasons with the Mets, but for any fan who saw his rise in 1999 or his walk-off homer in NLDS Game 3 against the Giants a year later, he had the impact of someone who played in Queens three times as long. So

The Cardinals farm system was defined by its depth, built up through positive development from stars in the system, breakouts galore, a strong 2026 Draft class and notable Trade Deadline acquisitions. But when considering how to rank a system that felt like it was growing in talent by the month,

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Playing in the Arizona Fall League two years in a row isn’t typically on a Minor League prospect’s bucket list. But given what transpired for Rockies outfielder Jared Thomas since he played for the Salt River Rafters in 2025, he had no issue with the return engagement.

MESA, Ariz. -- If someone told Cubs prospect Kade Snell he’d be playing professional baseball when he first embarked on his college career at Auburn, he’d have believed it. But if he knew it would be as an outfielder, he might have done a double take. “I would have asked

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- After struggling in his first three pro seasons, Nehomar Ochoa Jr. finally got going this year. He batted .287/.349/.500 with 11 homers and 29 steals in 64 games between two Class A levels at age 20, showing why the Astros paid him $300,000 (double slot value) as
