Organization Reports

Connor Phillips has true bat-missing stuff, but what he needs is refined command in order to thrive in the rotation.

The D-backs’ top prospect made his MLB debut last fall. Now the focus for Jordan Lawlar will be regular play, whether in Arizona or at Triple-A.

Leodalis De Vries has five-tool potential on the middle infield. The Padres are equally excited about his leadership qualities.

Chase Hampton wore down late in his breakthrough 2023 season. His quest to round out his pitch mix will continue at the upper levels.

Bryce Eldridge played both ways in high school. The Giants may develop him that way in pro ball, but their top priorities will be getting him at-bats and finding his best position.

Nolan Schanuel rose from the 2023 draft to Anaheim in about a month. He knows he needs to keep working to improve in 2024.

While it might not yet be clear where Tyler Black plays for the Brewers this season, the 23-year-old is expected to impact the major league…

First-round shortstop Colt Emerson had a revelatory pro debut, but the Mariners were equally impressed with hid dedication off the field.

Acquired by the Red Sox in a rare trade with the Yankees, Richard Fitts will work on developing his secondary weapons at Triple-A.

Spencer Schwellenbach did not pitch in his first two pro seasons but looked promising in his 2023 return.

Victor Scott II raised his profile as much as any Cardinals prospect in 2023, when he became an elite defender in center field.

Thomas Harrington made a seamless transition to pro ball while adding a new pitch type and adapting to a pro rotation schedule.

A two-way star at Clemson, Caden Grice knows his future is likely on the mound. But he would always regret not at least trying to hit too in pro ball.

Palmegiani brings power, discipline and a sound approach at the plate. He is a classic Blue Jays overachiever who could factor in Toronto in 2024.

If Zach Dezenzo can continue building on what he has shown, he will make an impact for the Astros.

Andrew Lindsey thought he was done with baseball in 2021. But baseball wasn’t done with him.

Top pick Noble Meyer spent his offseason developing his pitch shapes and location strategy.

First-rounder Ralphy Velasquez can hit. Now, Cleveland plans to give him time to learn the finer points of catching.

If he can meet the defensive requirements, Kevin Parada could one day form a potent catching tandem with Francisco Alvarez in New York.
