We have fully updated our Top 100, and this time we were doing so knowing that before long our current No. 1 (Roman Anthony) will graduate. So we spent a lot of time reporting, analyzing and discussing who should be the heir apparent to be No. 1. We have our answer.
You may know that Nick Kurtz is having a very good rookie season It's actually a historically good season...here's an explanation of how unusual it is. baseballamerica.com/stories/nick-k…
Miz just took Randy Arozarena down to a knee on a 100 mph strikeout.
Jacob Misiorowski vs. Cal Raleigh is great theater (and great battles)
Travis Bazzana had himself a night 👏 The @GuardsInsider top prospect went 3-for-3 with THREE doubles 😳 (🎥@AkronRubberDuck)
The Brewers' broadcast said that Misiorowski's velo is down in this second inning, which may be true, but he also throttles up and down depending on the batter. Cal Raleigh gets 100-101. Jorge Polanco gets 98-99. He does this regularly and has been for months.
I'm getting ready to record our weekly Prospect Podcast with @GeoffPontesBA. We are talking about the Trade Deadline. If you have questions or even a trade proposal we want us to review, reply here.
It's easy to just get used to how exceptional Aaron Judge is...but Judge has a chance to win the traditional and Sabermetric Triple Crowns. AVG: 1st (+23 pts) OBP: 1st (+32 pts) SLG: 1st (+105 pts) HR: 2nd (-2 HRs) RBIs 3rd (-4 RBIs) H: 1st (+13 hits) XBH: 1st (+8) TB: 1st (+27)
If you have an outfield of James Wood, PCA and Wilyer Abreu you are already off to a great start.
Most of the time teams trading prospects at the deadline never have reason to regret who they gave up. But not every time. Here's our look at a full 26-player roster of prospects traded from 2016 to present at the deadline. baseballamerica.com/stories/all-tr…

I've been to the DSL, ACL and FCL this year. My favorite parts of these trips is finding new, interesting prospects.. #Mets shortstop Yunior Amparo is one such player. Took competitive ABs. Made loud contact. Easy arm strength. Pretty quick runner, too. Take a look.
At this point, it would be a surprise if Chandler Simpson doesn't lead the league in steals.
The DSL #Mets scored a comeback win over the Angels this afternoon. Who cashed in the go-ahead run? Elian Peña. Check it out.

I wish our upload process was easier (we're working on it) and I wish my SQL skills were better. But apologies. The Orioles list is now what I was trying to upload for the Top 30s. Nate George is a big riser (again). baseballamerica.com/teams/2003-bal…
