Spring Breakout returns for its third installment after receiving a great deal of fanfare over the past two years. The weekend got going with six must-see matchups on Thursday and continues through Sunday evening.
As in previous years, all 30 Major League clubs will field teams of their best prospects at the showcase event. These rosters are once again packed with top prospects, with 54 members of the current Top 100 Prospects list, and more than 500 of the 900 players who make up teams’ Top 30 Prospects lists. Fourteen No. 1 prospects are scheduled to participate, as are another 16 ranked No. 2 in their respective organizations.
All 16 games -- the Brewers and Phillies will play twice because of the odd number of teams in the Grapefruit and Cactus leagues -- will be streamed live and blackout-free on MLB’s digital platforms (MLB.com, MLB.TV and the MLB app) and partner platforms. Seven games will air live on MLB Network, with the other nine being shown on tape delay. The full schedule is here.
Here's the complete schedule and results:
