Nationals prospect Jarlin Susana struck out two and walked two in two scoreless innings for High-A Wilmington. It’s his first start since Aug. 30, 2025 after undergoing lat surgery.
Ben Ross opens the scoring in Dyersville with a solo homer into the corn for Triple-A St. Paul.
Recent Blue Jays pickup Brett Bateman is headed up to the Majors for the first time. This type of outfield range will play in The Show.
Guardians prospect Ralphy Velazquez's ninth Triple-A homer of the season got out in a hurry. 102.1 mph, 354 feet; came off Mets prospect Jonah Tong who allowed five homers in five innings this afternoon
Does it get better? The Lombards watch Jacob homer in his pro debut while they’re at George Jr.’s MLB debut.
River Ryan: On stuff alone is a Top 20 prospect in baseball. But yes, he's 27 going on 28 and is in his first year post-TJ (with multiple hamstring injuries to boot), so he's in the 60s on our list. Think if healthy, he'd be a No. 3 candidate for many MLB teams right away.
Here on Coney Island for Seinfeld Night with the Brooklyn Cyclones. Of course the player headshots include puffy shirts.
Make that two oppo hits in his MLB debut for Max Clark. The second is an RBI double.
An all-timer of a night for Jesús Made. 5-for-5, 2 HR, 7 RBIs Last knock is this grand slam:
Make that 32 homers on the season for Joshua Báez. The latest for Triple-A Memphis traveled an estimated 453 feet. EV was 108.9 mph.
And if you missed this Hernández play at third base from Saturday, fix that.
Luis Hernández hit his first Single-A homer last night for San Jose. 448 feet on the blast, per the Giants. Luis Hernández is 17 years old.
You know that thing about only left-handed batters having pretty swings? Sebastian Walcott has a pretty right-handed swing. From last night:
I think Justin Gonzales enjoyed today’s walk-off homer for High-A Greenville.
This is through four innings. 11 strikeouts in that span. Miz Madness.
No. 2 Blue Jays prospect Arjun Nimmala has homers in back-to-back games for New Hampshire. Fourth of the season at Double-A, eighth total on the year.
You’ll want to see the bat flip on Tai Peete’s second homer of the game for High-A Peoria.
Murf Gray rips a grand slam for his second Double-A homer and the 25th of his first pro season. The Pirates third baseman was a recent addition to the MLB Pipeline Top 100.
Sebastian Walcott's swing sure does look good coming off internal brace surgery.
Greetings from Springfield, MO. It’s Christmas in July weekend here. The Cardinals are wearing Christmas-themed Cashew Chickens uniforms. I have had cashew chicken for dinner. Let’s play ball.
