Pair of Biscuits join 20-20 club on back-to-back nights
The Rays earned the top spot in MLB Pipeline’s midseason farm system rankings, and Carson Williams and Brayden Taylor had a lot to do with that. Now, the Rays No. 1 and No. 3 prospects, respectively, also share a distinction: they’re both members of the 20/20 club. Williams, MLB's No.
Bazzana's bat captains Lake County's sweep to Midwest Finals
First pitch, first playoff homer for the 2024 No. 1 pick. Travis Bazzana was no stranger to big moments in his decorated college career, and he proved to be up to that challenge again on Thursday, when he led High-A Lake County into the Midwest League Championship Series. MLB's No.
Dollander continues domination for Hartford with latest double-digit K outing
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

Sykora spearheads FredNats combined no-no
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
Dana just keeps posting zeros for Trash Pandas
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
Wetherholt's first homer wins game for Palm Beach
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
Loons' Ferris takes no-hit bid to pitch-count limit
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.

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
Round 1: Former Gators both get bragging rights
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.

Holy Toledo! Jung goes yard twice for Mud Hens
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
Holliday, DomÃnguez trade Triple-A taters
You can expect to see this in the American League East for years to come.

Yankees sluggers flex up and down farm system
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
Clippers duo combines for FOUR homers in ninth
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
Just how he Drew it up: Thorpe on top of his game

Walk doesn't tarnish Matthews' astonishing K run
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
