There was a period last summer when some evaluators thought: Colson Montgomery, No. 1 prospect in baseball.

After all, 6-foot-3 shortstops with 25+ home run potential don’t come around often. The Corey Seager comps were obvious, even something Montgomery embraced.

It’s not often that in the winding world of Minor League Baseball, you find your way back home again. But for Cooper Pratt, playing for Double-A Biloxi has meant a return to Mississippi -- the state in which he grew up -- in his second full season as

“Let the celebration begin at Las Vegas Ballpark!”

Russ Langer is nearing the completion of his 25th season calling Triple-A Las Vegas games but for the first time since he’s donned the headset, and the club's first time since 1988, the Aviators can call themselves league champions.

On the back of home

Intrinsically, hitting a grand slam takes some luck. And not just the garden-variety “hit a 90-plus-mph fastball more than 350 feet” type, either. You need three batters in front of you to all get on base without driving one another in, leaving one man to do the damage.

The Guardians’ High-A affiliate, the Lake County Captains, welcomed a new guy to the bullpen Wednesday night.

At 6-foot-1 and 202 pounds, he features a mid-90s heater and a wicked sharp slider. And he happens to be 34 years old.

The Mariners' High-A affiliate hosted Education Day at Funko Field on Thursday afternoon, packing the Everett AquaSox park with youngsters. While classroom subjects got much love, those in attendance also got to experience a one-of-a-kind tutorial in Bat Flip 101 with Seattle prospect Michael Arroyo serving

There’s just something about animals at the ballpark and the subsequent rallies that follow them, isn’t there?

You remember the famous Rally Monkey that was almost single-handedly responsible for the 2002 Angels’ run to the World Series. The Rally Squirrel spurred on the entire Cardinals Nation during

Eddie Kingston has never been one to mince his words. But ahead of his AEW Men’s World Championship match against Samoa Joe next Wednesday night on All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite on TBS and

SAN FRANCISCO -- Jordan Lawlar is back in the big leagues.

The Diamondbacks' top prospect and the No. 4 prospect in baseball per MLB Pipeline was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Monday and joined the team in San Francisco for the opener of a three-game

Ever since the John Oliver-designed Moon Mammoths alternate identity for Double-A Erie landed on the scene, they’ve been the focus of awe, adulation and all-around applause.

So it seems fitting that one of the Minors’ most high-profile prospects -- Kevin McGonigle, No. 2 overall --

Randy Dobnak’s journey of persistence in the game of baseball is the stuff of legend. From near five-star Uber driver to contract extension with the Twins, the 30-year-old is still going strong in the game.

Currently pitching for Triple-A St. Paul, Dobnak added another memory

When the Royals summoned Jac Caglianone to the big leagues earlier this week, it spawned a discussion about the best power-hitting prospects of all-time. While Bryce Eldridge may not have carved out a corner in that discussion, the Giants' top prospect ranks alongside Caglianone

For years, Christian Moore and Jac Caglianone laced up their cleats against one another in the SEC. A rivalry that spanned Florida, Tennessee and other landmarks across the South moved to Salt Lake City this week as the Royals and Angels' top prospects got simultaneous Triple-A

Much of the baseball world has been fascinated with the Mariners' High-A affiliate this spring because of switch-pitching sensation Jurrangelo Cijntje, but the Everett AquaSox also hold the unique distinction of having four Top 100 overall prospects among their everyday starting nine.

And no one among that group has

Wrigley Field sat dormant on Thursday, a windy day whipping across the diamond, the calm before a crosstown Chicago weekend set. But over in Des Moines, Iowa, it was a raucous day, due in large part to the bat of Matt Shaw.

Mr. Cub himself, Ernie Banks, once decreed

This is the story of the woman behind baseball's No. 4 prospect.

Because the story of Jordan Lawlar can’t be told without understanding he is the son of Hope Lawlar, a single mother who raised him to make as much of an impact off the field as

Major League Opening Day? Check. Triple-A Opening Day? Check. Next up? The rest of the Minors.

Baseball fans get a three-for-one eruption of action on the diamond Friday when the Double-A, High-A and Single-A seasons get underway, signaling the official green light of an exhilarating summer ahead.

While the players about to

There’s no denying that the 2024 Arizona Fall League season was historic. There was a little bit of everything in the desert, with record books being rewritten during the 32nd year of prospects putting their skills on display.

It’s always difficult to gauge just how significant six weeks' worth of statistical

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- When the Royals selected Jac Caglianone with the sixth overall pick in July, fans and the front office alike saw the vision: a power-hitting middle-of-the-order bat with prolific collegiate slugging exploits teaming with Bobby Witt Jr. at the heart of the lineup for years to

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- And just like that, the curtain has fallen on the 2024 Fall League campaign.

The Salt River Rafters thwarted the Surprise Saguaros’ attempt at a three-peat in unconventional fashion as the road club in their home park (by virtue of Surprise finishing with the regular season’s best record)

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – You don’t always know that you’re witnessing history when you see it. But anyone who watched Josue Briceño on a daily basis during the 2024 Arizona Fall League campaign knew that he was hitting at a prolific rate unlike anything seen in the circuit’s 32

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- When the Arizona Fall League season got underway on Oct. 7, it offered participants a chance to hit reset on their Minor League statistics. For Evan Justice, that was a welcome reprieve on a year where not much went right on the hill.

But nearly everything

MESA, Ariz. -- Three years into his Major League career, Bobby Witt Jr. has already had 2,035 regular-season plate appearances. That’s a lot of chances to make an impression.

But when it comes to your wedding, you only get one chance to hit it out of the park.

PEORIA, Ariz. – When the Braves selected Adam Maier in the seventh round of the 2022 Draft out of the University of Oregon, they handed a hurler with just 34 2/3 collegiate innings under his belt a massive overslot amount of $1.2 million to forego his remaining eligibility

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- At 5-foot-5 and 120 pounds, you wouldn’t recognize Tyler Uberstine in his high school days. Cut twice from Chaminade Prep in Los Angeles as a teen, he didn’t exactly scream prospect or future pro ballplayer.

Uberstine made the varsity team his senior year -- and barely
