Podcast: Previewing prospect re-rank, talking with Angels' Klassen

August 6th, 2024

With the Draft and Trade Deadline in the past, MLB Pipeline's in-season rerank is right on the horizon.

On the latest Pipeline Podcast, Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff give a sneak peek of the new list, kicking off the episode by exploring No. 1 prospect candidates.

In the next segment, Mayo sits down with Angels No. 3 prospect George Klassen to discuss his 2024 season. The 22-year-old right-hander was acquired at the Deadline in a trade that sent Carlos Estévez to the Phillies.

Klassen has dazzled in his first professional season, posting a 1.93 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in 15 starts across three levels.
