On a warm June night in northeast Indiana, Fort Wayne's Parkview Field was full of daisies. The Daisies of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, to be exact. The High-A TinCaps honored the city's AAGPBL team on Saturday, wearing replica jerseys and unveiling a monument dedicated to the club that

James Wood is moving on up, and moving on up with style. The top Nationals prospect clubbed his first Double-A home run on Thursday, his first extra-base hit since being promoted on May 28. Wood sports 60-grade power -- tied with his speed for his highest-graded tool -- and he

Ethan Salas doesn't even have a learner's permit yet, but the 16-year-old phenom already has a license to hit. The Padres’ No. 3 prospect skipped over the Rookie-level Complex League entirely and was assigned to Single-A to begin his professional career. As if that wasn’t impressive enough, Salas scored the

A lot of things happened at the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp game on Saturday. It started with a triple play to escape a jam in the first inning and ended with the Marlins’ Triple-A affiliate hitting two grand slams and putting up 20 runs in a home game for the first

The Springfield Cardinals have always been, in the words of general manager Dan Reiter, a very traditional franchise. The Double-A team had never assumed an alternate identity before, but the tradition was broken this week. For the first time in the club’s history, they didn't take the field as the

The military community is an integral part of the City of Fayetteville, and on Friday, the Fayetteville Woodpeckers pay tribute to them via the clothes on their very backs. The Astros’ Single-A affiliate took inspiration from the concept of City Connect jerseys to create the Fayetteville Eighty Deuces, an homage

For the Dana brothers, playing for the Tri-City Dust Devils is something of a family tradition. And for the Mesa brothers, taking the field for the Pensacola Blue Wahoos was a treat they'd like to repeat. But in both cases, being in pro ball in the same organization as their

Jordan Walker has been under a microscope since he broke camp with the Cardinals to start the season. The low point that followed his historic hitting streak -- being sent down to Triple-A to, among other things, work on his ground-ball rate -- came with struggles that are hard for

An out had not even been recorded in High-A Hudson Valley’s contest against Brooklyn on Thursday when the game took a turn for the wacky. A goose found its way onto the field at Heritage Financial Park, evading both players and groundskeepers alike in a brief appearance that raised goosebumps

It was a banner day for Biloxi, when top Brewers prospects Jackson Chourio (No. 1) and Jeferson Quero (No. 3) combined for four home runs and six hits while accounting for all six of the Double-A squad's runs in its 12-6 loss. But let’s give credit where credit is due:

Where would we be without our moms? While people everywhere celebrated Mother's Day, teams and players around the Minors made their affection known with pink uniforms, moms honored before the game and even home runs hit in maternal honor. Because moms always support their kids win or lose, it made

The matchup? Jackson Chourio vs. Ben Joyce -- 19-year-old phenom against a flamethrower who can touch 105 mph. The result? An opposite-field two-run homer off the bat of MLB’s No. 4 overall prospect. The Brewers’ top prospect won this battle, turning on a 99 mph fastball and leaving the yard

Country music legends don't leave the proverbial nest in Nashville. That's because the Triple-A Sounds have planned a series of nesting dolls featuring four such icons for giveaways twice this season, the first of which will happen at Saturday's 7:35 p.m. game against Gwinnett at First Horizon Park. The Brewers

Every year since 2010, the Tulsa Drillers have paid tribute to the T-Town Clowns -- a semi-professional Black baseball team from North Tulsa that played from 1946-65. This year, the club is taking it to a new level. For the first time, the Dodgers’ Double-A affiliate will don on-field T-Town

Who let the animals out in the Eastern League? Wildlife briefly interrupted Wednesday's action at two different Double-A ballparks in Pennsylvania -- first a squirrel in the New Hampshire-Reading game, and then a skunk in the Bowie-Harrisburg contest. Squirrel delays are nothing new at Minor League games -- in fact,

Take meow’t to the ballgame, take meow't with the crowd -- wait, those aren’t the words! Are they? For one night in Omaha, they were. On Saturday, the Royals’ Triple-A affiliate catered to the cat lovers with the club’s third annual “Take Meow’t to the Ballgame” Night, which is like

Watch out, world: Noelvi Marte is swinging a white-hot bat. The latest trick for MLB’s No. 25 overall prospect? A walk-off, two-run homer for Double-A Chattanooga, his third dinger in two games. The Reds’ second-ranked prospect broke out of a power drought with a two-homer performance on Thursday, the sixth

When Kannapolis rebranded at the end of 2019, the club was presented with a myriad of options for a new name. Cannon Ballers was always the top choice, but there was another name that caught the attention of personnel. The Q’s. Just the letter, not short for anything, like the

“Isn’t it technically a hyphen?” High-A Winston-Salem staffers have heard this countless times since the team rebranded from the Warthogs to the Dash in 2009. And yes, the “dash” between Winston and Salem is, technically, a hyphen. But the “Hyphens” don’t really make for a good baseball team name. At

It's a tradition unlike any other: Star Wars Day, aka May the 4th, a play on the "May the force be with you" phrase made famous by the sci-fi franchise. MiLB has already mastered the art of alternate identities, so May the Fourth gives teams the opportunity to dig through

On paper, it was the start of a typical six-game series between the Hillsboro Hops and the Vancouver Canadians. On the field, it was anything but typical -- at least for now. For the first time at the High-A level, two women coaches faced off against each other when Ronnie

It doesn't matter where Andrew Abbott is pitching. He just keeps striking batters out. The 23-year-old whiffed seven across five frames in his debut for Triple-A Louisville, bringing his MiLB-leading punchout total to 43 in 20 2/3 innings in the Bats' 9-5 loss to Iowa. The southpaw may only be

While there’s plenty of excitement surrounding the Pirates’ hot start, there’s even more to look forward to down on the farm, from the exciting crop of prospects to the jerseys they wear. Just ask Henry Davis, who collected his first career multihomer game and accounted for three RBIs on Double-A

It’s been a whirlwind 2023 for Harry Ford -- or should we say, “Sir” Harry Ford. The top Mariners prospect became something of a cult hero during the World Baseball Classic, having led Great Britain in homers (2), RBIs (4) and OPS (1.246) in its four games played. To Seattle

In his last outing, Double-A Pensacola's Eury Pérez faced a heavyweight Biloxi lineup featuring fellow Top 100 prospect Jackson Chourio and scuffled. He had no such trouble carving his way through the Birmingham lineup on Thursday. Donning a bright green Pensacola Mullets jersey, the Marlins’ top prospect was nearly untouchable
