This week on the MLB Pipeline Podcast and in Jonathan Mayo’s inbox, the question came up: Is right-hander Chase Dollander the best pitching prospect in Rockies history? With the way he's pitching, there might not be much time left for the debate to rage on. But no matter where you

The ball was flying in Dayton on Friday night, and two powerful teenage prospects took advantage and stole the show. MLB No. 4 overall prospect Walker Jenkins cranked his first High-A homer and Reds No. 5 prospect Cam Collier went deep three times as Dayton topped Cedar Rapids, 11-4, at

Day 1 is in the books for the Red Sox Big 3 at Triple-A. Boston’s top three prospects got their first tastes of the top Minor League level on Tuesday after the trio was promoted to Worcester together over the weekend. Roman Anthony enjoyed a three-hit night in his first

Boston's Big Three prospects will be moving up together and within one phone call of the Majors. The team is promoting its top three prospects, shortstop Marcelo Mayer, outfielder Roman Anthony and catcher Kyle Teel to Triple-A Worcester, MLB.com’s Ian Browne confirmed on Sunday. The trio also ranks within the

It’s been almost seven years since the last non-Complex League perfect game in the Minors, when now-defunct Kane County accomplished the feat on Sept. 1, 2017. That distinction is safe for now, but Travis Sykora and Single-A Fredericksburg came awfully close to claiming it Friday night. Sykora twirled six perfect

Not many 11th-round picks sign seven-figure bonuses. Not many pitching prospects throw complete games before they can legally drink. But then again, Caden Dana isn’t like most prospects. And he’s spent much of this season showing why. The latest example came Thursday when Dana’s latest strong start paved the way

With another game to play, JJ Wetherholt didn’t have a lot of time to savor a milestone moment. But he’ll never forget it. The Cardinals’ first-round pick (No. 7 overall) in last month’s Draft, Wetherholt cranked his first professional home run in his sixth career game for Single-A Palm Beach

When the Dodgers acquired Jackson Ferris in their January deal with the Cubs, they thought the left-handed pitching prospect could reach new levels in their system during his second pro season. They may have been right about that. The eighth-ranked lefty prospect in all of baseball, Ferris has spent the

Baseball’s newest top pitching prospect is Jackson Jobe, and it had been a while since he toed the rubber at Double-A. When the 21-year-old right-hander returned to the level on Friday night, it was as if he’d never left. Jobe pitched like he hadn’t missed a beat in Erie’s 6-1

As Sterlin Thompson rounded the bases after smacking a seventh-inning homer off Brandon Sproat, the highly touted right-hander gave his former Gators teammate a little nod. Sproat and Thompson played together at the University of Florida from 2021-22 before the Rockies selected Thompson 31st overall in the 2022 Draft and

Jace Jung is swinging like he’s trying to hit every pitch all the way to Detroit. That’s just where he might find himself sooner rather than later. MLB Pipeline's No. 46 overall prospect keeps knocking on the door from Triple-A Toledo. The latest example came Tuesday when Jung posted his

You can expect to see this in the American League East for years to come. It's easy to foresee Orioles top prospect Jackson Holliday and Yankees top prospect Jasson Domínguez having plenty of head-to-head matchups in one of MLB's most competitive divisions going forward. This weekend they competed against one

These Yankees prospects are aiming to become Bronx Bombers. That much was plain to see Friday, as prospects up and down the Yankees' system put their power on display on a homer-happy night down on New York’s farm. The most striking example came from Agustin Ramirez, who launched three homers

They say home runs come in bunches, but what Triple-A Columbus did Thursday night was next level. Powered by Johnathan Rodriguez and Bryan Lavastida , the Guardians' Triple-A affiliate put on a power display in the final innings of a 23-5 rout of host Indianapolis at Victory Field. The Clippers

A lot has changed in the last calendar year for Drew Thorpe. After MLB Pipeline named Thorpe its Pitching Prospect of the Year following his pro debut in 2023, Thorpe was traded from the Yankees to the Padres as part of the Juan Soto deal in December. Three months later,

Limiting free passes from the mound depends on control, command and precision. And then there is the type of surgical precision Zebby Matthews has displayed -- the kind one usually finds in an operating room. Coming into the season, there wasn’t a pitcher in the Twins system with better command

Back in 2022, the High-A Fort Wayne TinCaps front office posted a sign on the clubhouse wall. It featured a simple, but unusual request: Would any players want to speak publicly about mental health? The front office was not obligating anyone to do anything, and couldn’t predict what kind of

Since signing Ethan Salas for $5.6 million out of Venezuela as the prize of the 2023 international signing period, the Padres have had no problem challenging him with aggressive assignments. It's been a challenge at times this year for the game’s No. 6 overall prospect in High-A Fort Wayne, where

Just two years ago, Brennen Davis was the star of the Cubs’ farm system and one of the most highly regarded prospects in all of baseball. But it’s been a difficult couple of years for Davis, whose career stalled was slowed by injuries and inconsistencies. That makes his current hot

Heston Kjerstad needed only one swing to herald his return to Triple-A -- with that loud, distinctive thwack of bat hitting ball destined for the seats. Optioned back to Triple-A Norfolk after a three-week stint in the Majors, MLB's No. 23 prospect wasted no time. Kjerstad homered on the first

“The Martian” is back. Healthy again, Jasson Domínguez got back in the batter's box for the first time since last September. MLB's No. 32 overall prospect grounded a single to right field on the first pitch he saw from former Yankees starter Domingo Germán, a 90.9 mph four-seam fastball. Domínguez

Ever wonder how dominant a reigning Cy Young Award winner could look if he was transported back to Single-A? Blake Snell did just that – and it was as unfair as you might expect. On a rehab assignment with Single-A San Jose as he eyes a return to San Francisco

It's become glaringly clear over the past few years that the future in the nation’s capital is bright. The Nationals took a step forward in 2023 and are improving again this year with a young core led by CJ Abrams and MacKenzie Gore. Not to mention that Washington has a

The Orioles sent Jackson Holliday back to Triple-A to get everyday at-bats so he could find his swing, the idea being that if all went according to plan, MLB's top prospect would return to Baltimore in short order. More nights like Wednesday, and that day might approach quickly.

For Brian Serven , playing on the same field as Andrew Bash is “as close as you can get to playing with your brother.” Serven and Bash, who are teammates on the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons, aren’t technically kin. But they’ve known each other for so long, they might as well
