Podcast: Examining finalists for '24 MiLB Awards

September 17th, 2024

You can feel that chill in the air, so that must only mean one thing: the 2024 baseball season is coming to an end. As we look ahead to the postseason in the bigs and the Double-A and Triple-A postseasons in the Minors, let's take a look back at the year that was for prospects.

On the latest Pipeline Podcast, Jim Callis, Jason Ratliff and Jonathan Mayo begin with a discussion on the best prospect performances of the year. The conversation provides a glimpse of the upcoming MiLB Awards show that will air on MLB Network on Sept. 30 with a rundown of the finalists for hitting and pitching prospects of the year.

The guys shift the conversation to the finalists for the breakout prospect of the year award as well as each team's breakout prospect of the year. The prospects in the breakout category are limited to players who did not open the year on the Top 100 prospects list but forced their way onto it.

The discussion then takes a much further look down road as it takes a peek ahead to the 2025 MLB First-Year Player Draft. The episode ends with a question related to Rockies 2024 first-round Draft pick (No. 3 overall) Charlie Condon from the mailbag.
