Spring Breakout is back, and top prospects across all 30 organizations will once again take center stage in Arizona and Florida.

The second annual edition of Spring Breakout features hundreds of the top prospects from around the league. The rosters are stacked, highlighted by 72 players on MLB Pipeline's Top 100 Prospects list and nearly two-thirds of the 900 players on the organizational Top 30 lists. Eighteen No. 1 prospects are scheduled to participate, as are 21 players ranked No. 2 in their respective organizations.

Five of the top 10 prospects on MLB Pipeline's Top 100 list are slated to play led by Boston outfielder Roman Anthony (MLB No. 2), Detroit outfielder Max Clark (No. 6), Boston infielder Kristian Campbell (MLB No. 7), Rays shortstop Carson Williams (MLB No. 9) and Guardians second baseman and 2024 top overall pick Travis Bazzana (MLB No. 10). Two of the sixteen games will feature nine Top 100 prospects, while the Mariners and White Sox boast the most Top 100 prospects on their rosters with six each.

All 16 contests will take place in the Grapefruit and Cactus Leagues and will be streamed live and blackout-free on MLB’s digital platforms (MLB.com, MLB.TV and the MLB app) and partner platforms. Eight games will air live on MLB Network, with the other eight being shown on tape-delay basis. The full schedule is here.

Here's a team-by-team look at each roster, including top storylines to follow and key prospect rankings.

AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST

Blue Jays
The Blue Jays will stack the Spring Breakout roster with six of their top seven prospects, including Arjun Nimmala (No. 1), Trey Yesavage (No. 2) and Orelvis Martinez (No. 3). Toronto's improved pitching depth will be on display, including Jake Bloss (No. 6), who could pitch for the Blue Jays in a number of roles this season. More »

Orioles
Samuel Basallo has already had an impressive spring, making noise with loud rounds of batting practice and powerful swings during Grapefruit League action. Soon the Orioles' top prospect will again take his talents to the Spring Breakout stage. More »

Rays
With arguably the deepest Minor League system in baseball and talented prospects at all levels, the Rays will feature top position players Carson Williams, Xavier Isaac, Brayden Taylor, Tre' Morgan, Theo Gillen, Aidan Smith and Chandler Simpson. More »

Red Sox
Twenty of Boston’s Top 30 prospects will have the chance to put their skills on display at Spring Breakout, led by the vaunted Big 3 of Roman Anthony, Kristian Campbell and Marcelo Mayer -- ranked second, seventh and 12th respectively on the overall Top 100 list. More »

Yankees
The Yankees lineup is slated to include infielder George Lombard Jr. and outfielder Spencer Jones. Lombard, 19, is the youngest player in their big league camp but has been opening eyes with a lively bat and slick defense while Jones has feasted off an offseason swing change. More »

AMERICAN LEAGUE CENTRAL

Guardians
Travis Bazzana, the top overall pick in the 2024 Draft and the No. 10 prospect in the game, leads three of the Guardians' top four prospects at Spring Breakout, joining outfielder Jaison Chourio and infielder Angel Genao. More »

Royals
After sending an MLB-highest 24 of their Top 30 prospects to last year's event, the Royals plan to have 26 of the Top 30 in this year's Spring Breakout game. That's tied with the Marlins for the most prospects from one club. More »

Tigers
Six of the Tigers' top seven position prospects are on the roster, including five Top 100 prospects: Outfielder Max Clark (No. 6), middle infielder Kevin McGonigle (No. 28), shortstop Bryce Rainer (No. 52), catcher Thayron Liranzo (No. 81) and slugging first baseman/catcher Josue Briceño (No. 94). More »

Twins
The Twins' hitting contingent is led by newly crowned Top 100 prospect Luke Keaschall. The team's No. 3 prospect and No. 60 overall, Keaschall has an advanced bat and enjoyed a breakout season last year. He will be joined by two more members of the club's top 10, fellow infielders Kaelen Culpepper and Brandon Winokur. More »

White Sox
Look no further than Noah Schultz, the top-ranked White Sox prospect, and No. 3 Hagen Smith, who also happen to be the top two left-handed pitching prospects in the game. The southpaws will join fellow Top 100 prospects Kyle Teel, Colson Montgomery, Braden Montgomery and Edgar Quero. More »

AMERICAN LEAGUE WEST

Angels
This time last year, Christian Moore was in the early stages of a breakout junior year at Tennessee en route to Men's College World Series victory and his selection as the No. 8 overall pick in the Draft. Now Moore is the club's top prospect, ranked No. 67 overall, and will be the headliner for the Angels' Spring Breakout roster. More »

A's
The Athletics' Spring Breakout roster is headlined by Nick Kurtz, the No. 38 prospect in baseball. The first baseman was the fourth overall selection of the 2024 Draft and dominated opposing pitchers in his first 12 professional games between Single-A and Double-A last season. More »

Astros
The headliner among position players expected to play will be the Astros' new No. 1 prospect, Cam Smith, acquired in the December trade with the Cubs for Kyle Tucker. Other names to watch for include the club's next three top prospects -- shortstop Brice Matthews, outfielder Jacob Melton and catcher Walker Janek. More »

Mariners
The position players heading to Spring Breakout are among the Mariners’ most intriguing prospects and have the most upside. Colt Emerson has shown impressive mental maturity, Lazaro Montes has displayed his tape-measure power and Cole Young made strides against lefty pitching. More »

Rangers
The Rangers' squad will be highlighted by top prospect Sebastian Walcott (No. 17 overall). The 18-year-old shortstop has impressed in his first big league camp this spring, but was recently reassigned to the Minors in order to build up his at-bats. More »

NATIONAL LEAGUE EAST

Braves
Three of the Braves' top prospects are in camp battling for Opening Day roster spots. Atlanta's top pitching prospects AJ Smith-Shawver and Hurston Waldrep won't compete in Spring Breakout, the Braves will deploy their next big arms in the pipeline -- JR Ritchie (No. 8) and Garrett Baumann (No. 9). More »

Marlins
Twenty-six of Miami's Top 30 prospects feature on this year’s roster -- tied with Kansas City for most among all organizations. In fact, when using a system that awards 30 points for a team's No. 1 prospect, 29 for No. 2 and so forth, the Marlins lead all teams. It's another example of Miami's commitment to developing and showcasing its young talent. More »

Mets
The Mets’ top three position-player prospects -- Jett Williams, Carson Benge and Ryan Clifford -- are on the roster. And although the club's top prospect, Brandon Sproat, won't appear in this year's event, Jonah Tong will. The righty was a breakout hurler last season, going from unranked in the system to No. 6. More »

Nationals
There are not one but two Spring Breakout games this year for the Nationals. With the opportunity to set different rosters for each contest, the nation's capital will deploy 17 of its Top 30 prospects, including right-hander Jarlin Susana (No. 78 overall), and 36 players total for the showcase event. More »

Phillies
The Phillies opened Spring Training last month saying top pitching prospect Andrew Painter could be a difference-maker in the big league rotation by "July-ish," which is how president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski phrased Painter’s tentative timeline. But there is more than Painter to watch in the Phillies’ system. More »

NATIONAL LEAGUE CENTRAL

Brewers
Last year, Jackson Chourio took center stage in the inaugural Spring Breakout showcase before his sensational rookie season. Switch-hitting shortstop Jesús Made (MLB No. 55), a rising star in the organization who could be on a Chourio-style path toward the big leagues, leads the next wave of Milwaukee talent. More »

Cardinals
JJ Wetherholt, the top-ranked player in the Cardinals' system, is scheduled to play and likely will start at shortstop. Look for some fireworks after the No. 7 overall pick in last year’s Draft hit a three-run homer in his MLB Spring Training debut game with the Cards. More »

Cubs
After weather washed away Spring Breakout for the Cubs in 2024, the North Siders will be sending a trio of Pipeline Top 100 prospects -- righty Cade Horton (No. 51), catcher Moises Ballesteros (No. 68) and infielder James Triantos (No. 72) -- for a pair of games this month. More »

Pirates
Before taking the National League by storm last year, Paul Skenes’ largest platform was at the inaugural Spring Breakout game. This year, Bubba Chandler, the team’s top prospect and No. 15 overall, will be back on that stage as the headliner after he got the final outs last year against the Orioles. More »

Reds
Chase Burns, the second overall pick in the 2024 Draft, will highlight a cavalcade of the Reds' best up-and-coming players on the roster for the 2025 edition of Spring Breakout. And infielders Sal Stewart and Cam Collier are expected to find their way onto the lineup card for the second straight year. More »

NATIONAL LEAGUE WEST

D-backs
Seven of the Top 10 Diamondbacks prospects will be taking the field at Spring Breakout, including infielder Demetrio Crisantes, who was the biggest riser on the club's newly unveiled Top 30 prospects this year, going from unranked all the way up to No. 2. More »

Dodgers
After the Dodgers embark for Japan, fans on home soil will get the chance to catch a glimpse of the organization's future. Josue De Paula and Zyhir Hope headline the organization's position-player ranks and lefty Jackson Ferris will have the opportunity to reprise his success at Spring Breakout last year. More »

Giants
The Giants' squad will be headlined by first baseman Bryce Eldridge, the club's No. 1 prospect. The 20-year-old was the youngest player in big league camp this year and flashed his tremendous raw power by slugging a 450-foot, 110-mph home run in his Cactus League debut. More »

Padres
Returning to Spring Breakout, shortstop Leo De Vries (MLB No. 18) and catcher Ethan Salas (No. 33) -- a pair of 18-year-olds -- will be the headliners for the Padres. It'll also mark the first time that left-hander Kash Mayfield, the club's 2024 first-round pick, throws a professional pitch for the organization. More »

Rockies
It will be the first look before a wider audience for power-hitting outfielder/ third baseman Charlie Condon (MLB No. 29), the third overall pick in the 2024 Draft. Right-handers Chase Dollander (MLB No. 25) and Gabriel Hughes (COL No. 16) have already impressed in Major League camp and bring that momentum to the showcase. More »
