The second edition of MLB Spring Breakout is complete, and there was no shortage of highlights from the future stars of Major League Baseball over the four-day showcase.
Here's a complete breakdown of the 16-game exhibition:
THURSDAY
Rays 7, Red Sox 5
TB story | BOS story | Box score | Watch
Spring Breakout 2025 kicked off with a matchup between two of MLB's top three farm systems, and it did not disappoint as four of baseball's top 12 prospects -- Boston's Big 3 and Rays No. 1 Carson Williams -- went deep. Tampa Bay's Chandler Simpson and Homer Bush Jr. showed off their game-changing speed as well.
Cubs, Dodgers
Canceled due to inclement weather.
FRIDAY
Cardinals 3, Marlins 3
STL story | MIA story | Box score | Watch
MLB's Nos. 3 and 4 left-handed pitching prospects -- Miami's Thomas White and St. Louis' Quinn Mathews, the reigning MiLB Pitching Prospect of the Year -- went toe-to-toe and shut down their opponents' bats for two and three innings, respectively, as the Cardinals and Marlins settled for a tie in the battle of Jupiter.
Phillies 5, Pirates 3
PHI story | PIT story | Box score | Watch
Pirates right-hander Bubba Chandler showed why he was the top pitching prospect to participate in Spring Breakout, striking out four across two perfect innings with upper-90s fastballs. But the interstate-rival Phillies pulled away in the end behind Justin Crawford's speed (triple, stolen base) and Carson DeMartini's power (home run).
Nationals 6, Astros 6
WSH story | HOU story | Box score | Watch
Nationals outfield prospects Andrew Pinckney and Elijah Green each went deep to help give Washington an early lead, but the Astros' dominant bullpen kept them in the game long enough for a tie as Jackson Nezuh, the organization's 2024 Minor League Pitcher of the Year, and Ethan Pecko each struck out the side in consecutive innings.
Athletics 5, Padres 2
ATH story | SD story | Box score | Watch
Padres 18-year-old phenoms Leo De Vries and Ethan Salas showed why they are two of the best prospects in baseball -- even as Denzel Clarke took away extra bases from the former and added a pair of RBIs. Athletics' 2024 second-rounder Tommy White justified his "Tommy Tanks" nickname with a game-changing home run.
D-backs 5, Royals 2
AZ story | KC story | Box score | Watch
Fittingly, two of the best prospects in this game put their raw power on display, as MLB's No. 22 prospect Jac Caglianone (single) and D-backs' 2023 second-rounder LuJames Groover (double, triple) each hit balls in excess of 105 mph -- and Arizona used some trickery to turn a nifty double play.
Guardians 8, Mariners 7
CLE story | SEA story | Box score | Watch
In a matchup of Top 10 farm systems, Cleveland's Jaison Chourio and Seattle's Tai Peete each delivered three hits, while the teams combined for 23 knocks. There was plenty of excitement on the mound, too, as Parker Messick struck out five across three scoreless frames for the Guardians and switch-pitcher Jurrangelo Cijntje made his professional debut for the Mariners.

SATURDAY
Blue Jays 10, Twins 0
TOR story | MIN story | Box score | Watch
Blue Jays' 2024 first-rounder Trey Yesavage was nothing short of dominant in his pro debut, with three strikeouts across two scoreless frames, and he got more than enough run support as an offense led by MLB's No. 86 prospect Arjun Nimmala (two hits, RBI, run) stepped up despite great defense from Twins No. 7 prospect Brandon Winokur.
Orioles 5, Yankees 4
BAL story | NYY story | Box score | Watch
Tools aplenty were on display in this AL East showdown as Yankees starter Carlos Lagrange touched triple digits and retired 11 straight, while speedy Enrique Bradfield Jr. (Orioles' No. 3) and Vance Honeycutt (BAL No. 5) generated scoring with their legs before the O's walked it off.
Rangers 5, Giants 5
TEX story | SF story | Box score | Watch
Rangers starter Winston Santos looked electric with six K's across three perfect frames while MLB's No. 17 prospect Sebastian Walcott showed off his 70-grade arm on defense and collected a pair of hits. The Giants' offense came alive after Santos' exit -- 2024 first-rounder James Tibbs III came through with an RBI single -- and forced a tie.
Cubs 8, Angels 3
CHC story | LAA story | Box score | Watch
The Cubs' trio of Top 100 prospects participating -- Moises Ballesteros, James Triantos and Kevin Alcántara -- each delivered two hits, with the latter knocking a first-inning homer. Angels No. 3 prospect George Klassen came on in relief and struck out Alcántara in the second frame and was the top performer on the Halos' side.
SUNDAY
Tigers 6, Braves 3
DET story | ATL story | Box score | Watch
Braves No. 12 prospect Didier Fuentes struck out seven batters -- the most at Spring Breakout -- across three innings of one-hit ball. But Detroit's offense proved to be too much as all five of the Tigers' Top 100 bats collected hits, led by 2024 first-rounder Bryce Rainer's two knocks and three RBIs in his professional debut.
Mets 5, Nationals 1
NYM story | WSH story | Box score | Watch
This NL East matchup began as a pitching duel when starters Jonah Tong (Mets) and Alex Clemmey (Nats) combined to strike out nine batters across five innings of one-run ball. Mets infield prospects Ryan Clifford and Brandon Baro homered to break open the game in the middle frames.
Rockies 3, White Sox 1
COL story | CWS story | Box score | Watch
Hagen Smith and Noah Schultz, baseball's top two LHP prospects, delivered on their hype with a pair of scoreless innings apiece, and recent Rockies first-rounders Gabriel Hughes and Brody Brecht kept up with a combined four K's across three hitless innings. Late power from infielders Adael Amador and Kyle Karros put Colorado on top.
Reds 9, Brewers 7
CIN story | MIL story | Box score | Watch
This year's highest scoring Spring Breakout game featured three triples from the Reds -- Sal Stewart (MLB No. 83), Edwin Arroyo (MLB No. 91) and Ethan O'Donnell (CIN No. 18). The Brewers had a balanced attack, with 10 different prospects picking up hits, including 18-year-old Jose Anderson, who went deep in the fourth.
