The All-Star Futures Game is less than two weeks away on July 13 and the First-Year Player Draft will follow shortly behind. One day behind, in fact. It’s about to get very busy in the world of prospects. So as the Major and Minor League seasons pivot toward their second

Since its inception in 1999, the All-Star Futures Game has provided a stage for the next generation of big league stars to show off their tools. Over the years, we’ve seen exciting displays of hitting prowess. But given the nature of the exhibition, it always seemed like the spotlight on

SEATTLE -- Byron Buxton was possibly the only person who could tell the switch had been flipped. On June 22, the 30-year-old went 1-for-4 with three strikeouts in Oakland in the first game of the Twins’ road trip. He was hitting .226 in June, with more K’s than hits. But

SEATTLE -- The Twins have found themselves on a tightrope repeatedly in June. On Friday night at T-Mobile Park, they were right back on the highwire and couldn’t quite make it to the other side, losing 3-2 to the Mariners in 10 innings. It’s the fifth straight series-opening loss on

PHOENIX -- It looked at first that the D-backs’ primary worry on Thursday would be in dealing with the “Slim Reaper,” the moniker of top pitching prospect David Festa. But then, the “Buck Truck” and the Minnesota bats rolled through the desert and left utter devastation in their wake. Festa

PHOENIX -- All the good feelings of a blowout getaway victory, a vintage eye-popping Byron Buxton power-speed game and the debut of the organization’s top pitching prospect gone -- just like that. The excitement vanished in an instant when Carlos Correa took a 94 mph fastball to his right arm

Seventeen days before the Guardians will exercise the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 Draft, they've let little slip out regarding their intentions. Their top four candidates appear to be, coincidentally, the top four players on MLB Pipeline's new Draft Top 250 list. Cleveland not only is mulling over

When David Festa takes the mound for the Twins at Chase Field in Phoenix on Thursday afternoon, he’ll be bringing a repertoire that matches up with any member of the Twins rotation and his electric mix compares well to some of the better starting pitchers in the game.

PHOENIX -- Given the struggles of the core left-handed hitters that the Twins hoped would provide the bulk of their production against right-handed pitching this year, they spent much of the first two months of the season going through iteration after iteration of starting lineup configurations, trying to find something

PHOENIX -- The consensus among the Twins’ young players who have spent time in the Triple-A St. Paul clubhouse this season is that David Festa is a largely quiet, meticulous guy who takes his work very seriously. Then, he steps on the mound -- and his stuff roars. “When I

It’s difficult to stay atop the Hitter Power Rankings over and over and over again, because even the best hitters tend to cool off every once in a while. Well, don’t tell that to Aaron Judge. Nobody has been able to slow down the Yankees slugger for several weeks, and

It's time for our second installment of each team's hottest-hitting Top 30 prospect over the last month. Our list includes eight Top 100 prospects, though the player with the best numbers over the last 30 days occupies the bottom spot on our Top 30 for his organization.

Arkansas' Hagen Smith and Wake Forest's Chase Burns headline the 2024 college pitching crop after breaking the NCAA Division I record for strikeout rate. Both project as easy top-10 picks and potential frontline starters. Yet the college pitching class isn't as deep as once hoped. East Carolina's Trey Yesavage is

PHOENIX -- Chris Paddack knew this would happen at some point -- which made it easier for him to take a step back and think of this as the right move at the right time. Paddack has faced inconsistent velocity and feel in his pitching arm in his first full

PHOENIX -- It’s probably too late for Ryan Jeffers to make a serious push for the All-Star Game, as had seemed possible -- and perhaps even likely -- as he essentially carried the Twins’ offense through much of its inconsistency in early 2024. But finally, he feels like himself again

OAKLAND -- Pablo López wasn’t quite perfect -- but he was pretty darn close. Though the Twins’ ace lost his bid for a perfect game on a two-out single in the sixth inning, he roared back to ace form with one of the most dominant efforts of his career, matching
