Seattle Mariners have 6 of MLB Pipeline’s top 75 prospects

I like a lot of the Rangers’ top 10 talent, especially Gabe Perreault. But the fact that they have potential impact players up front, on the blueline, and in the crease is a reason for excitement. That boosted Pittsburgh’s prospect pool to levels I have never seen since I started covering prospects. After adding Rutger McGroarty via a trade last summer, GM Kyle Dubas and Co. managed to make seven picks in the top 100 back in June, including three picks in the first round. Jimmy Snuggerud and Dalibor Dvorský and Justin Carbonneau all have futures as top-six forwards, with Snuggerud, in particular, ready to take up the mantle out of training camp. But I could see most of this top 10 play at least some NHL games, with a few becoming key components of the future.

• The others to climb 40-plus spots were Giants first baseman Bryce Eldridge (No. 96 to No. 24), Mariners shortstop Colt Emerson (No. 87 to No. 20), Rangers shortstop Sebastian Walcott (No. 71 to No. 17), Royals catcher Blake Mitchell (No. 94 to No. 48) and Dodgers catcher Dalton Rushing (No. 75 to No. 30).
• Scouts like how he supports his defenders and that he’s willing to block shots and get in the way of scoring chances.
• That sustained level of competitive play meant moving draft picks and selecting low when they didn’t.
• Tong showed flashes of his potential last season, but struggled with control during his five starts with the team.

Since coming to Arizona, Hoffman has come in as a relief pitcher in four games for the D-backs, posting an ERA of 2.08 and allowing two hits. The D-backs have two players in MLB Pipeline’s top 100 prospects, although neither were deadline additions — infielder Jordan Lawlar and outfielder Ryan Waldschmidt. MLB Pipeline ranked Arizona’s farm system 16th in the league, up from 22nd before the season. The D-backs dealt multiple top players and in return received an infusion of prospects to reshape the team’s farm system.

Most notably, Cruz saw his overall prospect score jump from a 45 at the beginning of this year to a 55 now, indicative of the leap that talent evaluators have seen from the 19-year-old infielder. In fact, until this weekend, Cruz was still the 25th-ranked prospect in the Nationals system, but he now is up to #6 in the organization, and should continue to climb even higher. Obviously hindsight is 20-20, but giving up Franklin and a now Top 100 prospect in Cruz for 8.1 innings of Soroka is definitely a deal Chicago would want a mulligan on. Actually, the one guy that definitely should be making plans to victory lap is Mike DeBartolo, who was the interim GM of the Nationals last year and helped lead the organization through the trade deadline.

After Bullpen Banter I joined the guys at Big League Futures, another site geared solely to coverage of amateur players where I continued to focus on video for scouting and I began doing more and more videos for high school kids to use for college recruiting. Bullpen Banter was one of the first web sites dedicated to first-hand evaluations with a high-quality video and members of our crew were quickly hired by MLB teams as scouts which helped lead to the end of Bullpen Banter. I continued to speak with dozens of college coaches and even more scouts on how to best showcase the player’s skills/tools on video and began using high-speed video for mechanical analysis of pitchers and hitters. I can only imagine other organizations and other evaluators, coaches, and recruiters have found similar value in his work.” “Knowing Steve on a personal level for more than two decades, I know how much his passion for the game of baseball drives him. “I met Steve about 9 years ago when my son, Isaiah was an underclassman in high school.

Montreal Canadiens (2024: 2nd)

The third-team All-American selection as a junior, the Razorbacks' catcher is currently projected to the Oakland Athletics organization, according to MLB.com. Escobar has been with the Phillies organization since January 2022, when they signed him out of Venezuela as a free agent to a minor league contract. Now, after the latest update, the Phillies' farm system continues to boom, with MLB Pipeline featuring a new Phillies addition to the Top 100. Dave Dombrowski and the Philadelphia Phillies have continued to work on rebuilding the farm system since he took over as the president of baseball operations.

Both Perry and Parker will be heading to Philadelphia this upcoming weekend to take part in the MLB Futures All-Star Game. One of the biggest questions is if Bonemer can stick at shortstop long-term. If Bonemer can continue to channel his power and finish his first professional season with 15 home runs and 30+ stolen bases, it would be a huge success for the 19-year-old shortstop. With Brewers starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski graduating from prospect status this week, White Sox minor league shortstop Caleb Bonemer is now No. 100 on MLB Pipeline's top prospects list. But as of Sunday, 19-year-old shortstop Caleb Bonemer joined them and cracked the list for the first time.

He will share the field with Josuar Gonzalez, which might be a problem given that both prospects are viewed primarily as shortstops. That was Bryce Eldridge at No. 25 and Josuar Gonzalez at No. 44 They now have a third prospect with Luis Hernández coming in at No. 99. In addition, the A’s starting rotation also has a bright future with Jump already proving himself on the main roster and with Arnold looking to make that next step toward his eventual MLB debut. Two other Giants shortstop prospects entered the list with Luis Hernández at No. 35 and Jhonny Level at No. 52. MLB Pipeline recently released its latest top 100 list of up-and-coming players, in which several Giants and Athletics prospects are featured. As Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes navigates the summer of 2026, the real challenge begins, finding space for this influx of talent.

But the reality is, there’s a non-zero chance that not a single player in their top 10 prospect list becomes a full-time NHLer. The Panthers have plenty of depth on the wings, mostly as potential fourth-liners. Carl Lindbom can be a decent goalie, while Mathieu Cataford has middle-six potential. The Avalanche already had one of the worst pipelines in hockey.

The use of high-speed video has become an integral part of our analysis of players for our organization, something that Steve has been doing for several years.” He always provides the angles we like to see including CF and open side for pitchers. “I had seen Steve around at Prospect pipeline a lot of local games when Cody was an underclassman at Walnut, then I met him at Mt. Sac when Cody was playing scout ball for the Red Sox.

For High School & Club Coaches

He hurled an SEC-best 47 strikeouts looking, in 85.2 innings across 16 starts on the mound for the Razorbacks. However, with the help of pitching coach Matt Hobbs, he became the Razorbacks' dependable ace and of the top pitchers at the college level. More advanced than most college catchers, Helfrick already calls pitches and excels at running a staff. He was issued a team-high 55 walks, which ranks No. 4 all-time on the Razorbacks' single-season top-10 list.

Regardless, I wouldn’t be surprised if the next time he’s called up to the NHL, he sticks around. I wonder if he’ll end up being trade bait at some point as the Capitals look to remain in Stanley Cup contention. Consistency can still be an issue at times, but the highs outweigh the lows and I think he’ll be a decent NHLer. Miroshnichenko is about to embark on his third season of North American pro hockey – and it’s easy to forget he’s only 21.

But I also expect him to become a middle-six power forward who might not drive the play, but he’ll make your line more difficult to contain. Nyman isn’t a high-end skater and I think that’ll hurt him in the long run. Nyman is huge at 6-foot-4 and over 215 pounds, but he also moves with the puck better than most players his size.

He has the skill to be a decent middle-six threat for the Flyers, but scouts are worried about his pace once he jumps to the NHL. He loves to generate scoring chances, and he’s no slouch as a playmaker, either. He has done a solid job of improving his physicality, and he’s as good a support player as you’ll find. It was almost like his puck game just wasn’t 100 percent where it needed to be.
