Max Clark, OF, West Michigan (DET No. 1/MLB No. 3)
Clark continued his scorching start to May with a three-hit performance, blasting his second homer of the season in the process.

Jac Caglianone, 1B, Northwest Arkansas (KC No. 1/MLB No. 18)
There are few, if any, Minor League hitters who are swinging a hotter bat that Caglianone. Last year's sixth overall pick went deep for the fifth time in six games and for the ninth time this season for Double-A Northwest Arkansas. Since his average dipped to .204 on April 18, Caglianone has hit safely in 16 of his 18 games and is slashing .420/.500/.728 with 10 extra-base hits and 20 RBIs. Gameday
Travis Bazzana, 2B, Akron (CLE No. 1/MLB No. 7)
The 22-year-old homered to extend his hitting streak to seven games and reached base three times, adding a walk and hit-by-pitch. Bazzana, who is batting .303 with a .937 OPS in May, has gone deep twice in his past six games, equaling his home run output from the entire month of April in 51 fewer at-bats. Gameday
Konnor Griffin, SS/OF, Bradenton (PIT No. 2/MLB No. 38)
Griffin just keeps on hitting, and he continued to do so on Friday, posting his first career four-hit game and clubbing his sixth home run of the year. He raised his average to .283, while his six long balls rank tied for third in the Single-A Florida State League. Over his past 10 games, Griffin is batting .375 (18-for-48) with eight extra-base hits. Gameday
Thomas White, LHP, Beloit (MIA No. 1/MLB No. 36)
White shook off a subpar showing in his last start with arguably his best outing of 2025 for High-A Beloit. The 20-year-old struck out a season-high eight and allowed two hits and two walks over five scoreless innings. White retired 10 of the last 11 batters he faced, which lowered his ERA in six starts to 3.24. Opponents are batting just .189 with four extra-base hits against the Massachusetts native. Gameday
Jacob Misiorowski, RHP, Nashville (MIL No. 4/MLB No. 94)
Misiorowski has been as sharp as they come so far this season for Triple-A Nashville, a trend that continued. The International League leader in strikeouts posted a season-high 11 K’s over 6 2/3 scoreless innings to raise his overall total to 54. He generated a total of 21 whiffs, including 18 on his four-seamer, which eclipsed 102 mph twice. The 23-year-old righty lowered his season ERA to 1.49, good for second in the International League. Gameday
Travis Sykora, RHP, FCL Nationals (WSH No. 1/MLB No. 64)
Sykora's comeback from offseason hip surgery took a giant step forward during his latest rehab outing in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League. The 21-year-old struck out eight of the nine batters he faced over three perfect innings and has fanned 14 across five frames in his two rehab starts. Gameday
Johnny Farmelo, OF, Everett (SEA No. 6/MLB No. 90)
It was the breakout Farmelo and the Mariners were waiting for. Playing in just his seventh game of the season, the 20-year-old erupted from atop High-A Everett's lineup with his first multihomer game as a pro and a season-high three hits -- all for extra bases. In addition to his two solo jacks, Farmelo doubled, walked twice and also scored three runs to lift his OPS to 1.142. Gameday
Nolan McLean, RHP, Syraucse (NYM No. 5)
Earning a promotion to Triple-A after crafting a 1.37 ERA in his first five starts of the season for Double-A Binghamton, McLean picked up right where he left in his Syracuse debut. The Oklahoma State product twirled a career-high seven scoreless innings, scattering seven singles and striking out seven without issuing a walk for the first time since Opening Day. Gameday
Alan Roden, OF, Buffalo (TOR No. 5)
Roden erupted offensively in his second game since returning to Triple-A, falling a triple shy of the cycle during his first four-hit game of the year. The 25-year-old drove in a career-high five runs, reached base five times in six plate appearances and scored three runs. Gameday
