10 Low-A MLB Prospects Ready To Rise Up Rankings In 2025 Image credit: Franklin Arias (Mike Janes/Four Seam Images) This early in the season, we’re all navigating the world of small samples. Some of that data holds meaningful signal, but how do we tease that out from noise? Simple: If a player I lik...

Lefty Parker Messick with a 0.00 ERA after two starts goes today for the Clippers. Righty Tommy Mace with 1.80 ERA after two starts works for the RDucks today. Returned to the lineup: Kahlil Watson OF/IF yesterday; SS Yordes Valdes today Lefty Mtts Wilkinson, not a super start 4.50 after 2 starts on...

The Athletic annual poll of baseball front office folks on the best of their peers probably need access to read this but if you can: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6273808/2025/04/16/mlb-top-10-front-offices-executive-vote/?source=freedailyemail&campaign=601983&userId=10856198&source=d...

Logan Allen with a second straight scoreless start 5 2/3 2 hits 2 walks 6 strikeouts. 96 pitches: could have been more effficient everyone contributed to the offense except the number 4 and 5 hitters who were a combined 0...

he brought in 1 with a fly out.

chance to break a scoreless tie in the 3rd: Naylor walks, Rocchio singles, Kwan walks. None out.

Lots of lefties working today. All 4 starters: As of this post only Lynchburg game is complete. Melkis Hernandez [who's he?] for Lynchburg, 4 innings 5 runs. But the Hillcats rallied for a 10-8 win. Hawke with 2 singles a walk and his 9th and 10th steals. Francisca walk and 3rd steal. Luis Merejo 18...

Thomas out again today. Jones in right, Martinez in center. No. 5 hitter with a 229 slugging average is a kind of weak link. But all those other stats posted in one of these folders tell he's ready to break loose at any time. At least his first at bat he hit a fly ball, all the way to the shortstop....

He's still working in Arizona; only Doughty of the high school pitchers drafted last year in pitching now.

Interesting. The one I really can't figure out is Jones; the one thing he has failed to do with some consistency over closing in on 200 at bats is to hit a homerun He projects success but nothing much comes of it. Brennan has far less of a "ceiling" but he can be a consistent not quite ave...

It's unfortunate Genao is not playing; that would be one heck of a lineup.

4 runs off Lively and a 4-2 loss. No sweep. After getting good press, Arias and Martinez were each 0-3 with 2 strikeouts. Guardians hitters struck out 14 times and drew No walks. For the season team has 127K [ranking 8th] and 55 walks [ranking 7th]. Last season they finished #13 in strikeouts 1196/4...
