Minor League Baseball Daily Thread for May 18, 2022
Minor League Baseball Top Performers One of the top pop-up minor league baseball prospects this season finally had a day that allowed him to be featured. One of the downfalls of a daily thread like this is that the guys who get picked out as the top performer of the day may not be a guy who shows up consistently with excellent daily performances, and that’s the case here. Hitter of the DayFollowing the tradition of many elite prospects from the island of Curacao, Ceddanne Rafaela has emerged from a low-priced signee by the Red Sox in 2017 with extremely high defensive grades to a guy whose bat has emerged.…

Minor League Baseball Daily Thread for May 16, 2022
Minor League Baseball Top Performers Another day in minor league baseball, another no-hitter. The minors have seemingly had a no-hitter from at least one team every day of the last week, and many of those big events have sparked the top pitcher of the day as well, while others, like Sunday, were spread among a number of pitchers and didn’t really impact the discussion of the top individual of the day. Let’s look at Sunday’s best! Hitter of the DayThe Yankees’ farm system had a number of breakout performances from infielders last season. They spun off a few of those breakouts in the deal to bring in Joey Gallo at…

He’s moved quickly through the Arizona minor league system, showing tremendous natural baseball instincts, handling center…

Minor league baseball top performers for April 22, 2022
Minor League Baseball Top Performers Without a “huge” game from any one pitcher in minor league baseball on Thursday, the choice came among many excellent performances, and today’s top hitter and top pitcher both happen to be former early draft picks, which hasn’t been the case all the time in the selections. Let’s take a look at Thursday’s top performers and Friday’s schedule! Hitter of the DayOriginally drafted by the San Diego Padres, Hudson Potts was traded to the Boston Red Sox during the 2020 season in a trade that sent Mitch Moreland to the Padres.

Minor League Baseball Top Performers The top pitching prospect in the game debuted and the rest of full-season leagues joined Triple-A in play on Friday night as the minor league season is now truly underway! Hitter of the DayPortland infielder David Hamilton was originally drafted by the Brewers out of Texas in the 8th round in 2019. He missed the 2020 season but worked his way up to Double-A in 2021 before he came to the Boston Red Sox organization as part of the Hunter Renfroe trade. It would be hard to have a better first night with a new organization than what Hamilton did on Friday, going 4-5 with…

Minor League Baseball Top Performers It’s Opening Day for the “rest” of Minor League Baseball today after having a few days of Triple-A baseball alone. Enjoy! Hitter of the DayIn a game that featured four long balls, Worcester shortstop Ryan Fitzgerald accounted for a pair of them, going 2-3 with 3 RBI on the day and adding a walk as well. Fitzgerald has been part of the Red Sox organization since signing as an undrafted free agent out of Creighton, and he’s meticulously worked his way up the Red Sox system with consistent bat-to-ball skills, but swing work during the pandemic both allowed Fitzgerald to tap into his raw power…
