Wrigley Field sat dormant on Thursday, a windy day whipping across the diamond, the calm before a crosstown Chicago weekend set. But over in Des Moines, Iowa, it was a raucous day, due in large part to the bat of Matt Shaw. Mr. Cub himself, Ernie Banks, once decreed it

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

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

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

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.

It was exactly what you'd want from a marquee matchup between a pair of first-round picks. One delivered a career-high strikeouts. The other homered off him on the first pitch of the game. That's what happened when the Blue Jays' top pitching prospect Trey Yesavage met talented Pirates teen Konnor

HOUSTON -- Rich Hill isn’t done trying to play Major League Baseball just yet. The 45-year-old left-hander, who was first drafted into pro ball in 1999, has signed a Minor League deal with the Royals, the team announced on Tuesday. Hill will report to the club's Spring Training facility in

CINCINNATI -- Josh Barfield made it clear Tuesday that the White Sox are not about to take any shortcuts with their top prospects. The assistant general manager explained before the three-game series opener at Great American Ball Park why they are pulling back on the workload on pitchers Hagen Smith

The Corpus Christi Hooks, the Astros' Double-A affiliate, notched seven hits -- including three home runs, a triple and two doubles -- 11 RBIs and seven runs scored ... and that was just from two players in the team's 20-14 shellacking of Frisco at Riders Field on Tuesday. Houston's outfield

TORONTO -- Jake Bloss will undergo right elbow surgery to repair his ulnar collateral ligament (UCL), news that comes as a difficult blow to the promising 23-year-old and the Blue Jays’ rotation depth. Bloss is the Blue Jays’ No. 6 prospect and represented one of their best starting options in
