Welbyn Francisca hit another homer in Arizona Fall League action: Francisca has dominated AFL at the age of 20. That’s what’s meaningful about it. Hopefully, he can continue this development in 2027 at Akron and Columbus.
Believe it or not, the 2026 Arizona Fall League is nearly done. It was another hot week for one Guardians infield prospect, while a Toronto Blue Jays pitcher had himself a nice week after some funky numbers during the early part of the season.
Our last 2026 Arizona Fall League preview focuses on the Surprise Saguaros. Surprise’s roster includes multiple former first-round picks, as well as two of the best infield prospects in all of Minor League Baseball.
The Twins and White Sox were the fortunate teams to receive top-three picks via the 2026 MLB Draft Lottery last December. Because of that, both clubs were able to, hopefully, wind up with some premium talent that turns into Major League help.
The 2026 MLB season was driven by top performances from young players, and the crop of young talent in the minors has never been greater. These 25 prospects could emerge as top MLB players in 2027.
Travis Bazzana, Cooper Ingle, Angel Genao, Ralphy Velazaquez. Each of these youngsters has become a headline-grabbing name within the Cleveland Guardians' organization, and rightfully so.
It's hard to be too worried about the Cleveland Guardians, even though the major league squad is sliding further and further down the American League Central standings.
No one had a multi-hit game, but several players had big hits in Sunday’s win for Columbus. Leading the charge were Milan Tolentino and David Fry, who both went 1-for-3 with a home run and a walk.
Clippers 9, Mud Hens 7 It was another massive game from Cooper Ingle tonight. He went 2-4 with a mammoth HR that was 109.4 MPH off the bat and traveled 409 feet.
The switch-hitter is yet another top international prospect who is producing at an extremely high level. Middle infielder Welbyn Francisca is our No. 6 prospect, earning 25% of the vote on Monday in an extremely competitive race that saw him win by 11 votes.
It's difficult to judge a prospect's potential. Many factors play into this, such as age, level, development, and how long it takes a player to adapt to better pitching as they move through an organization.
