The weekend kicked off with a bang, led by baseball's top overall prospect Roman Anthony, who reached base five times. Fellow Top 100 denizens Matt Shaw, Bryce Eldridge, Aidan Miller and Cole Young all produced huge offensive performances, while a Rockies prospect rapped out five hits in a wild extra-inning

TORONTO -- It’s a good time to be a baseball fan in Vancouver. The Blue Jays are promoting No. 2 prospect Trey Yesavage (No. 71 on MLB Pipeline's Top 100 list) to the High-A Canadians, a source told MLB.com, along with No. 10 prospect Khal Stephen and Gage Stanifer, who

Talk to any scout and they’ll tell you some version of this axiom: Big leaguers come from everywhere. What that means is that for every Paul Skenes (No. 1 overall pick in 2023) or Vladimir Guerrero Jr. ($3.9 million bonus in July 2015), there can also be a Tarik Skubal

Matt Shaw finished the game way he started it -- with a long ball. After the Triple-A Iowa Cubs won the opener of a Thursday doubleheader against St. Paul, 8-2, the nightcap was a much tighter ballgame, despite Chicago’s top prospect homering in the I-Cubs' first plate appearance. He delivered

While the Brewers’ Major League rotation continues to have its depth tested, the organization’s top pitching prospect keeps proving why he’s MLB-ready. The latest two checked boxes for Jacob Misiorowski: the longest start of his professional career and the fastest Statcast-recorded pitch by a Triple-A Nashville hurler in the last

Three, unassisted. It's a play we've seen many times, and it usually involves a ground ball to the first baseman, who fields it and then runs to the bag to complete the putout. The trek is normally a short one -- if the first baseman is too far off the

Ronald Acuña Jr. is nearing a return to the Major Leagues, and it doesn’t look like he’s missed a beat at the plate. Acuña went 2-for-3 with a single and a double for Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday in his second rehab appearance. The Braves' star tore his left ACL on

Max Clark may not have been homecoming king in high school, but this week’s High-A road series has certainly been one to remember in the highly touted Tigers prospect's home state of Indiana.

With more than six weeks of the Minor League season in the books, the sample sizes are swelling, and trends are beginning to emerge. It's time to start taking stock, which is what MLB Pipeline's recent market-corrected Top 100 Prospects list shakeup is all about. With that in mind, the

It's not even Christmastime but there's plenty of list-making going on at MLB Pipeline. We just refreshed our Top 100 Prospects list, and we're working on rearranging and expanding our Draft Top 150 into a Draft Top 200 by the end of the month. On to your questions ...

There are good days and there are GOOD DAYS. Justin Osterhouse had a GOOD DAY on Thursday. The Purdue Fort Wayne sophomore had what might be the greatest day ever produced on a baseball field: He collected five hits, clubbed four homers -- including a walk-off grand slam -- drove

Offense led the way on Thursday, but a pair of Top 100 prospects on the mound might have stolen the spotlight. Philadelphia's Andrew Painter accomplished something for the first time in more than two years while Milwaukee's Jacob Misiorowski continued to make his case for a big league promotion. Not

Long before Aaron Judge started collecting American League MVP Awards and Anthony Volpe became the first Yankees rookie to win a Gold Glove, each player got his start on the road to Major League stardom in the organization’s farm system. But even back then, before reaching the bright lights of

A pair of Top 100 heavyweights led the charge on Wednesday, with Max Clark and Chase Burns lighting up the High-A Midwest League. But the star-studded performances didn't stop there. A pair of Texas prospects -- one an Astro, the other a Ranger -- enjoyed huge offensive afternoons before ending

BALTIMORE -- Eighteen innings of baseball were played Wednesday at Camden Yards, where the Orioles’ tough start to the 2025 season continued. Baltimore couldn’t cool off red-hot Minnesota, which extended its winning streak to 10 by sweeping a doubleheader. The O’s took a 6-3 loss in the opener, then they

The defending World Series champion Dodgers own the best record in the National League (27-15) and look like a lock for their 13th consecutive playoff appearance. But that doesn't mean they can't get better. Los Angeles has gotten little production out of backup catcher Austin Barnes or their currently healthy

The Astros found themselves with an unprecedented advantage in the 2015 Draft. Because they failed to sign No. 1 overall pick Brady Aiken the year before, they received the No. 2 choice as compensation. And after posting the fourth-worst MLB record in 2014, they also garnered the No. 5 selection.
