Future Projection Ep. 33: We’re Back!

Ben and Carlos are back on the podcast for the second season of the show! After a long hiatus, the two bring 2023 in with a bang, chatting about the most recent Prospect Handbook and the players who impressed them within it, plus an early look at the 2023 and 2024 draft classes.

The two discuss players they’re excited about in the minor leagues, including Gunnar Henderson (Orioles), James Wood (Nationals), Evan Carter (Rangers), Emmanuel Rodriguez (Twins), Cam Collier (Reds), Miguel Bleis (Red Sox) and Spencer Jones (Yankees)—among others. The two try to line up the best pitching prospects in baseball, Grayson Rodriguez (Orioles), Andrew Painter (Phillies) and Eury Perez (Marlins) and also talk about who’s next up after that trio of electric arms.After talking about the best farm systems in baseball, the two pivot to draft talk, where they discuss the headliners of the 2023 class, including Dylan Crews, Chase Dollander, Max Clark and Walker Jenkins, as well as look ahead to the top players in the 2024 high school class.
