To make it easy for folks to keep up with our prospect interviews on @The_CallUpPod, I created a playlist with our sit downs from the last 18 months! (Linked after list) Includes: Paul Skenes, Jared Jones, Jackson Jobe, Coby Mayo, Mason Miller, Chase Dollander, Rhett Lowder,…
Top 100 Prospect Update on the way July 28th for @JustBB_Media. We want to make sure it's up to date when the deadline gets ripping! Team top prospect lists will be updated throughout August, especially with many prospects expected to be moving.
Ryan Sloan has allowed just 1 earned run over his last 21 innings. 29 K, 2 BB and a 61% ground ball rate. Opponents have an OPS of just .391 in that span. The sweeper, splitter and cutter have all been dominant and the fastball sits 96. He's 19. Few arms in MiLB with more upside.
Bill Schmidt ball baby.
Career-high 15 home runs for Mickey Moniak! His last 30 games: .368/.417/.800 (!!!) 10 HR 22 RBI 1.217 OPS 4 SB He’s breaking out in a BIG WAY
Kevin McGonigle walks it off for Erie. Technically a single, had doubled in three straight games before this. Also walked twice today.
Owen Caissie just launched this homer at 111 MPH. He's 3 for 3 on the day. Entered today with an OPS north of 1.100 over his last 30 games. Dude is getting bored in Triple-A.
Jarlin Susana made his return to the mound after missing a couple months with a Grade 1 UCL sprain. Threw just two innings (and dealt with rain), but fastball averaged north of 100 MPH in his 34 pitches. Great to see from the 21-year-old.
Playing in an NL Central with two surging teams ahead of them, the St. Louis Cardinals may face a tough reality at the trade deadline. Our @PatrickDLyons what John Mozeliak said that may outline their plans for the deadline: justbaseball.com/mlb/john-mozel…
Giants Top Prospects List! Bryce Eldridge stands out as the lone top 100 talent, but some up-and-coming prospects in the lower levels could soon change that. Our @AramLeighton8 details their top prospects: justbaseball.com/prospects/san-…
Walker Jenkins in last 20 games: .930 OPS 160 wRC+ 8 XBH 15 BB The former 5th overall pick is finding his groove.
Chase DeLauter is ridiculously strong. Looks like he got this Chase Petty slider off the end and he beat the centerfielder over the head. Sadly, he's on the shelf again with a hand issue now. When he's on the field, he's so impressive.
Here's a video of Kyle Schwarber throwing out Marwin Gonzalez trying to steal. Tag applied by second baseman Ian Happ.
Carson Benge now has an OPS north of 1.000 since reaching Double-A with 14 walks and 10 strikeouts. He's 11 for his last 22 including this 111 MPH double from yesterday. Looks like a top 30 prospect in the game to me.
Last 15 games for Marlins C prospect Joe Mack .362/.393/.759, 6 HR, 11 XBH He has also thrown out 33% of attempted base stealers since the start of June.
