Locked On MLB Prospects

On today's show, we're looking ahead to the regular season with a mailbag! We talk about prospects who aren't consensus Top-100 prospects who have impressed at spring training, like Dodgers OF Andy Pages, Washington RHP Jackson Rutledge, and Angels reliever Ben Joyce. Next, we discuss when you should move a pitcher from AA to AAA, and if you can fully evaluate a prospect via video versus seeing them live. Finally, we look at some individual prospects that have prompted questions: OF Heston Kjerstad of the Orioles as potential Top 50 prospect, whether RHP Alex Santos of the Astros can get back into his Top 30, and some impressive WBC prospect performances (RHP Duque Hebbert of Nicarauga (now with the Tigers), RHP Javier Assad of Mexico and the Cubs, and OF Jose Ramos of Panama and the Dodgers.

On today's "Friday Focus", we're looking at three specific position groups in three specific systems. For the San Francisco Giants, they're loaded with pitching but we want to talk about their infielders: They have three top ten infielders, and 3B Casey Schmitt is a better defender than either SS Marco Luciano or SS Aeverson Arteaga? What kind of roster flexibility does that give San Francisco moving forward?  In Chicago, the Cubs are giving RHP Hayden Wesneski a MLB roster spot on Opening Day, but we're also watching for two new pitchers in the system - RHP Cade Horton and LHP Jackson Ferris - to see what this pitching development staff can do with their arsenals.  And in Arlington, OF Anthony Guiterrez of the Rangers might have a "Jackson Chourio"-type ascension through the minors in 2023.  Join the NEW Locked On MLB Prospects Discord: https://discord.gg/36s3eRXGUQ Find and follow LockedOn MLB Prospects on your favorite podcast platforms: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/locked-on-mlb-prospects/id1525225214 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2wzJIf26tGgVbB7rsoKyLD Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/locked-on-mlb-prospects Follow along with LockedOn MLB Prospects host Lindsay Crosby as we follow 120+ affiliated teams throughout the 2023 season!

On today's show, we're looking ahead to this summer's MLB Draft. We're breaking down the amazing outings last weekend from Florida's Brandon Sproat (against Alabama, not Georgia), Vandy's Hunter Owen, and Minnesota's George Klassen. Next, we preview some of the top prep shortstops in this draft class with looks at Arjun Nimmala, Colt Emerson, and Kevin McGonigle and the range of future pro outcomes, as well as if they'll make it to campus or not. We close the show talking about this AMAZING piece fro Prospects Live about how MLB teams use their draft models to rank draft-eligibles, how to integrate scouting with analytics, and how smart organizations can use some self-scouting ro maximize value in the middle and later rounds of the MLB Draft.

On today's show, we're looking at some of the most impressive pitching prospects in spring training to figure out whether or not they'll get big league jobs this season. LHP Matthew Liberatore of the St. Louis Cardinals added some velo, which helped his four-seam fastball not get crushed, while RHP Bryce Miller of the Seattle Mariners has the premium velo and two sliders that could hold up to relief (before sliding into a starting role after some injuries strike, like Spencer Strider did last year). Brandon Pfaadt of the Arizona Diamondbacks, despite being sent down already, has the brightest future of all of the young Arizona arms, while we might have cursed Chase Silseth of the Los Angeles Angels by planning on putting him in here and him promptly getting CRUSHED by the Reds on Monday afternoon. We close the show with a look at the two lefty prospects gunning for the 5th starter job in Atlanta, Dylan Dodd and Jared Shuster.

On today's show, we're looking at impressive prospect (and prospect-adjacent) performances from Spring Training! For top prospects, Cardinals OF Jordan Walker looks ready for the show, but is there a space in the lineup and outfield for him? Triston Casas looks ready to mash at first base for the Boston Red Sox, while catcher Logan O'Hoppe is getting rave reviews from the veterans in camp and appears poised to take on the #1 job behind the dish. For recently-graduated prospects, Elehuris Montero looks like he'll get to start at 3rd for the Colorado Rockies out of spring, and Michael Massey should hold down 2nd for the Kansas City Royals. Is this the year OF Jarred Kelenic finally puts it together in Seattle? We close the show with a look at the position battle for Dansby Swanson's vacated shortstop job in Atlanta between recently graduated Vaughn Grissom and prospect Braden Shewmake.

We touch on the absurdly high ceilings for Boston Red Sox outfielder Miguel Bleis and San Fran Giants outfielder Vaun Brown, and then look at some spring training standouts: Yankees CI Andrew Chaparro, White Sox pitcher Gregory Santos, and Astros pitcher Ronel Blanco before evaluating a WILD dynasty baseball trade proposal.

On today's show, we're wrapping 2022 debuts with a look at the record number of prospects, 303, that debuted in MLB last season. Author James Bailey joins the show to discuss why there was so many debuts last year, some of the noteworthy first appearances for prospects in The Show (like San Diego's Eguy Rosario, who faced a position player for his first at-bat, or Tampa Bay's Kevin Herget, who went through two separate independent ball stints - and a front office internship - before finally making it to the show).

On today's show, we're digging into the differences in player rankings of the Top 100 prospects by MLB Pipeline and Baseball America - only six players got the exact same rankings from both outlets. There are some highest-tier prospects that they disagree on (Brewers OF Jackson Chourio at #3 or #8, Miami Marlins RHP Eury Perez at #7 or #13?), as well as some significant differences later in the list. We look at some of the largest differences, 30 places or more, for pitchers (Pirates RHP Quinn Priester, Diamondbacks RHP Brandon Pfaadt, and Cardinals RHP Tink Hence) and for hitters (Twins OF Emmanuel Rodriguez, Reds SS/3B Noelvi Marte, and Angels SS Zach Neto).

On today's episode, we look at the record-setting Corbin Carroll deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The outfielder signed for eight years, with a club option and escalators that could bring the entire deal up to $154M. Why would they lock him up so early? Then we discuss standout performances from spring - SS Oselvis Basabe of the Rays, OF Jasson Dominguez of the Yankees, and OF Lawrence Butler of the Athletics for Spring Training, and 2B Edouard Julien (Canada), OF Sal Frelick (Italy), and C Harry Ford (GB) in the World Baseball Classic Join the NEW Locked On MLB Prospects Discord: https://discord.gg/36s3eRXGUQ Find and follow LockedOn MLB Prospects on your favorite podcast platforms: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/locked-on-mlb-prospects/id1525225214 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2wzJIf26tGgVbB7rsoKyLD Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/locked-on-mlb-prospects Follow along with LockedOn MLB Prospects host Lindsay Crosby as we follow 120+ affiliated teams throughout the 2022 season!

On today's show, we're talking about THIS piece from The Athletic about two-way centerfielders: Guys that can contribute at an above-average level both offensively and defensively, and more importantly, where are they all going? 2022 saw only five guys meet the definition, while 2004 had ten different players hit that milestone. We discuss the definition of what a two-way centerfielder is and look at the consensus top prospect outfielders, in order, to figure out if they can contribute in both ways going forward.

On today's episode, we're looking at the Baseball America 2023 organizational talent rankings, found HERE (https://www.baseballamerica.com/rankings/2023-mlb-preseason-organization-talent-rankings/)! The Baltimore Orioles are given the #1 spot, not just because of the talent of top two prospects Gunnar Henderson and Grayson Rodriguez, but the plethora of arms and bats behind them! We break down all 30 teams, paying extra time to some dramatic climbers (#5 New York Mets, #7 Washington Nationals, and #8 Cincinnati Reds) and how they did that, as well at looking at the systems that are deemed to have better than average pitching and figure out if it's quality (#19 Philadelphia Phillies), quantity (#4 Cleveland Guardians), both (#3 Los Angeles Dodgers), or if it really should have an asterisk (#20 Miami Marlins) Join the NEW Locked On MLB Prospects Discord: https://discord.gg/36s3eRXGUQ Find and follow LockedOn MLB Prospects on your favorite podcast platforms: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/locked-on-mlb-prospects/id1525225214 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2wzJIf26tGgVbB7rsoKyLD Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/locked-on-mlb-prospects Follow along with LockedOn MLB Prospects host Lindsay Crosby as we follow 120+ affiliated teams throughout the 2022 season!

We discuss the futures of interesting prospects C Edgar Quero, flamethrowing reliever Ben Joyce, and if we see RHP Sam Bachman in LA, maybe in relief, this year. We discuss some of the younger prospects - SS Zach Neto, 2B Kyren Paris - and talk about what they need to do to make it to the bigs, and try and figure out if catcher Logan O'Hoppe is advanced enough offensively and defensively to be the Opening Day starter for the Angels.

On today's show, we're reeling from the tough news of Los Angeles Dodgers SS Gavin Lux's torn ACL that will end his 2023 season. The Dodgers could stand pat with just veteran Miguel Rojas, but if they wanted to make a deal, who is available? Do they make a trade with Milwaukee for Willy Adames...and Corbin Burnes? Do they try and pry a shortstop from the Yankees? Or maybe they look at a defensive veteran like Amed Rosario of the Guardians or Jorge Mateo of the Orioles? We think they should marry the best of both worlds by getting Josh Smith from the Rangers.

It's time to overreact to small sample sizes of spring training! Anthony Volpe looked great for the Yankees over the weekend; can he break into the starting lineup in the Bronx? Jordan Walker did some of everything for the Cardinals over the weekend; how does St. Louis move pieces around to get him into the lineup. Garrett Mitchell hit TWO homeruns for the Brewers; if he's really fixed the swing, how does Milwaukee handle this glut of outfielders? And Brett Baty looks ready to be the strong-side platoon at 3B right now for the New York Mets. Plus, we debut the "Three For Me" segment; Lindsay rants about the economics of baseball and discusses salary caps and floors.
