For the second consecutive start, the Pirates' No. 1 prospect dazzled with his new team, tossing six scoreless innings and tying his career

This season, Indianapolis has been no stranger to fast-rising pitching prospects. Mere months after Paul Skenes' ascension from Indy ace to National League All-Star Game starter to potential Rookie of the Year, another Pirates top prospect was dominant in his Triple-A debut in the form of Bubba Chandler. The righty

At the end of the first half, it seemed like two Triple-A clubs might challenge for the ever-elusive 100-win season.

Jackson Holliday's All-Star break was quite a restorative one. MLB's top prospect had just spent three weeks solely as a designated hitter following an injured list stint due to left elbow inflammation and got a chance to return home. After wrapping up Triple-A Norfolk's series in Memphis, he watched his

Six times every season, the Reno Aces hold a Home Run for Life game, presented by Donor Network West, to honor a Nevada community member who has been impacted by organ, eye and tissue donation. On Friday night, the event took on even more meaning as the club had an

Remember when Brooks Lee was sidelined earlier in the year with a herniated disc? You wouldn’t be able to tell with how he’s swinging the bat. MLB’s No. 14 prospect continued his hot stretch by launching two homers -- the first time he has accomplished that feat in his professional

Holidays and the traditions that surround them give a comforting predictability to our lives. Every time the calendar flips to a new month, small text or icons indicate the upcoming dates of note. After Saturday night’s unique feat, it would be no surprise if Tyler Fitzgerald had a circle around

All aboard. The Cole Train is chugging its way back toward the Majors. Gerrit Cole fanned 10 batters across 4 1/3 frames in Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s 2-1 loss against the Rochester Red Wings on Friday night during his third rehab start. The start comes on the heels of his two previous

These Yankees prospects are aiming to become Bronx Bombers. That much was plain to see Friday, as prospects up and down the Yankees' system put their power on display on a homer-happy night down on New York’s farm. The most striking example came from Agustin Ramirez, who launched three homers

Triple-A Buffalo catcher Payton Henry, who was hospitalized after being struck on the head with a backswing during' Friday night's game at Syracuse, was discharged on Saturday and "is doing well as he continues to rest and recover," the Bisons announced this afternoon.

In case there was any doubt, Blake Snell's stuff looks in top form and ready to return to the big leagues. The reigning National League Cy Young Award winner tossed his second straight hitless rehab start, this time striking out 10 overmatched hitters across five frames in Triple-A Sacramento's 5-1

With a runner barreling towards first base, Jhonathan Diaz made an unorthodox decision. As the Triple-A Tacoma starter followed through in his delivery in the bottom of the sixth inning Friday night, the left-handed pitcher scampered to his right halfway up the third-base line and fielded a ground ball with

INDIANAPOLIS -- Paul Skenes was a national champion at LSU. He became a No. 1 overall pick with the Pirates in 2023. He’s been the Minors’ most dominant pitcher at Triple-A Indianapolis to begin 2024. And in many ways, he still thinks like that catcher calling pitches for Air Force

The Norfolk Tides staff may not have been perfect Friday night, but they were pretty darn close. The club spun a three-man combined no-hitter, fanning a whopping 13 batters in the process. The 2-0 win over Nashville at First Horizon Park marked the Orioles affiliate's first no-no since Chris Tillman’s

For Brian Serven , playing on the same field as Andrew Bash is “as close as you can get to playing with your brother.” Serven and Bash, who are teammates on the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons, aren’t technically kin. But they’ve known each other for so long, they might as well

With every 100 mph fastball and crackling slider he unleashes, Paul Skenes nears the inevitable. As MLB's No. 3 overall prospect continues to enhance his reputation as a generational talent, the rest of the baseball world watches and waits for possibly the most anticipated big league debut by a pitching

Forcing the hand of the organization might come into play for Orelvis Martinez. As the Toronto Blue Jays sit in the middle of the pack of the American League East a month into the season, a not-so-far-away contributor has put up videogame-like numbers for Triple-A Buffalo. MLB's No. 81 prospect

A franchise known for developing some of the game's best pitchers over the past half-century hasn't uncovered many gems -- hidden or otherwise -- in recent years. But that might be starting to change. While we might not see comparisons drawn to the likes of homegrown aces Tom Seaver, Dwight

It’s time to officially add another member of the Leiter lineage to the ranks of Major League Baseball. When Rangers skipper Bruce Bochy announced Tuesday morning that Jack Leiter, whom the club chose with the second overall pick in the 2021 Draft, would be making his big league debut Thursday

Prior to Friday night, Joey Loperfido sat atop professional baseball’s home run leaderboard alongside three-time American League MVP Mike Trout, among others. Just a few hours and three big swings later, the 24-year-old slugger has sole possession of pole position with nine home runs for Triple-A Sugar Land. In Sugar

Paul Skenes unleashed his signature four-seam fastball in the bottom of the second inning against Justice Bigbie but failed to find the strike zone, issuing the first four-pitch walk of his young professional career. There shouldn’t have been a reason for concern at this point in the game. MLB’s No.

Colson Montgomery, the No. 1 White Sox prospect and No. 9 overall, according to MLB Pipeline, launched his first home run for Triple-A Charlotte during a 7-5 loss at Jacksonville Friday. The shortstop connected on the first pitch he saw in the eighth inning from Declan Cronin, who was a

If you thought Paul Skenes' starts were appointment viewing last year, when he reached Double-A after being the top overall pick in the Draft by the Pirates, you would be right. But this year, every time the Pirates' top prospect takes the mound, it’s even more of a must-see experience.

A lot of Baltimore talent has come through Triple-A Norfolk over the past four years. Three overall No. 1s, among a dozen Top 100 prospects, have played for the Tides -- by far the most in the Minors. But no previous team or game went quite like this one.
