Minor League Baseball Weekly Top Performers for June 21, 2022
Minor League Baseball Weekly Top Performers This was possibly the most difficult week so far to pick the singular winner of the hitter of the week or pitcher of the week. It was not because there weren’t worthy players, as many were worthy on both the hitter and pitcher sides, but no one player set himself apart in a significant way over the competition, so I ended up choosing two players to highlight. Hitter of the WeekThe Atlanta Braves had a 2019 draft that brought a depth of talent into the organization. One of those later picks that has significantly blossomed has been 11th-round pick Vaughn Grissom, an infielder that…

Minor League Baseball Daily Thread for May 12, 2022
Minor League Baseball Top Performers Another day, another minor league baseball no-hitter! Of course, there were many other incredible performances across the minors, and more impressively, all games were played, meaning a more “normal” schedule for players and teams this weekend! Hitter of the DayNorfolk’s Ryan McKenna was originally drafted out of New Hampshire high school by the Orioles in the fourth round of the 2015 draft. For context, 54 players and three managers have been major leaguers from New Hampshire, one of the managers (Frank Selee) has been a Hall of Famer. McKenna had a breakout season in 2018 followed up with a big Arizona Fall League performance that…

Minor League Baseball Daily Thread for May 11, 2022
Minor League Baseball Top Performers Across minor league baseball on Tuesday we saw 20-run outbursts and no-hitters in the same evening, pitchers strike out double-digit hitters and batters reach base a half-dozen times. You truly never know what you might see when you come to a ballgame! Hitter of the DayThe Braves originally drafted Braden Shewmake with the hope that he would move quickly through the system and potentially work as a high-floor infielder that could play all over. Instead, Shewmake showed a much better glove at shortstop than expected and initially showed a very good bat. His 2021 season was marred by a miserable start to the year, but…

Minor league baseball weekly top performers for April 19, 2022
Minor League Baseball Top Performers The format for the weekly wrapup is better set with focus on the performance of the past week and providing the overall statistical leaders across all of the minor leagues. Enjoy! Hitter of the WeekWhile there are many players who put up big power numbers on the week, knocking out as many as eight extra base hits on the week, Max Ferguson of the Padres system has been elite in a different manner. The former Tennessee standout opened in Single-A and led the minors this week in runs scored and stolen bases, going .444/.621/.556 with 11 runs scored and nine stolen bases on the week.…

Minor league baseball daily top performers for April 17, 2022
Minor League Baseball Top Performers The Atlanta Braves organization made it a tough decision for the top minor league baseball pitching performance of the day with two of the best performances of the entire season on Saturday. Let’s take a look at all the top performers and the schedule for an Easter Sunday! Hitter of the DayWhen he was drafted from Michigan in the third round in 2019 by the Astros, Jordan Brewer was still raw in his baseball skills, having spent notable time working with the football team. The lost 2020 season and an injury that cost him a significant amount of his 2021 season have put Brewer behind…

Minor League Baseball top performers for April 15, 2022
Minor League Baseball Top Performers With a number of games rained out on Wednesday, Thursday’s schedule included a host of doubleheaders and suspended games. That led to a bit more time to sort out everything, but the cream rose to the top all the same! Hitter of the DayAustralian Aaron Whitefield tantalized the Minnesota Twins system for a number of years with raw tools but never could refine all of those tools into baseball production. He signed with the Angels and is playing with Double-A Rocket City this season. He’s had a very big year overall, but the suspended game that finished yesterday along with the full 9-inning game that…

Atlanta Braves top 100 prospects in the organization
Atlanta Braves 2022 top 100 prospects The Atlanta Braves won the 2021 World Series with a roster dominated by players who had come up through the farm system. The 2022 team saw multiple players graduate, and the Braves’ farm system is now legitimately the 30th-ranked system in the game, but there is still plenty of raw talent. Each prospect is going to have the age as of April 1, 2023, highest 2022 level, Rule 5 eligibility information, and my version of a projected future value for each player. Updated: December 15, 2022 Preface: each list is with the players in the system at the time of the list and with…
