Here's a look at Tuesday’s top Minor League performers from each team's Top 30 Prospects list:
Royals: Bobby Witt Jr., SS (MLB No. 3), Triple-A Omaha Witt continues to see the ball well in Triple-A and had another strong night at the plate in Game 1 of Omaha’s doubleheader against Iowa. The Royals’ top prospect homered and drove in four runs as he went 2-for-4 at the plate. Witt has batted .282 and posted a .992 OPS to go along with seven homers and 21 RBIs in his first 78 at-bats in August.

Nationals: Keibert Ruiz (MLB No. 19), Triple-A Rochester Brady House, SS (MLB No. 60), FCL Nationals Ruiz had his first multihomer game while with the Nationals organization as he went 3-for-5 with a pair of homers and drove in three runs. The 23-year-old hit a two-run homer to right field in his first at-bat of the game, then hit a solo homer to right field in the seventh inning of Rochester’s 9-2 win over Syracuse. The change of scenery hasn’t seemed to slow down Ruiz. Since arriving in Rochester, Ruiz has batted .306 and has a .907 in 16 games.
Just two games into the start of his pro career, House has shown some of the power that made him a 1st-round pick in the 2021 Draft. The 18-year-old hit his first professional homer in the form of a grand slam and drove in four runs. House made his pro debut on Monday and has gone 4-for-6 and driven in five runs for the FCL Nationals. Nationals prospect stats »
