Everything You’ll Want To Know About Spring Breakout 2025

Originally posted on Just Baseball | By Leo Morgenstern | Last updated Mar 6, 2025 9:41 AM ET

Spring Breakout was a hit in 2024, so Major League Baseball is bringing it back for a sophomore showing in 2025.

Last year’s event helped shine a spotlight on many of the top prospects in the game, including Paul Skenes, Jackson Holliday, Jordan Lawlar, Kyle Teel, Jace Jung, Xavier Isaac, Jacob Misiorowski, Ceddanne Rafaela, Tink Hence, Spencer Jones, Rhett Lowder, and Kyle Manzardo, to name a few.

You can expect just as many top prospects to participate this year. Plenty will be names you already know. Others will be names you’re glad you learned.

Here is everything you’ll want to know about the second annual Spring Breakout event, coming soon to a Grapefruit or Cactus League ballpark near you.

What Is Spring Breakout?

Spring Breakout is a four-day event in mid-March in which teams made up of the best prospects from each MLB organization’s farm system play against one another.

The purpose of Spring Breakout is simple: to showcase the best talent minor league baseball has to offer.

When Is Spring Breakout 2025?

This year’s Spring Breakout will take place from March 13 to 16 in both the Grapefruit League and the Cactus League. The Red Sox and Rays will kick things off at 7:05 pm EDT on March 13, while the Reds and Brewers will close things out at 4:40 pm MST on March 16.
