Minor League Baseball Players of the Week for July 12, 2022
Minor League Baseball Weekly Top Performers As minor league baseball heads into draft week, with a host of new players coming into the fold from the draft, those who are currently on rosters did their level best to impress. Let’s check out who took home top honors for the first full week of July: Hitter of the WeekA 2018 signee by the Reds out of the Dominican, Elly De La Cruz began drawing plenty of prospect attention last season when he made his stateside debut and simply crushed the ball, tallying 35 extra-base hits in just 61 games between complex ball and the Florida State League. The Reds promoted the…

Minor League Baseball Weekly Top Performers for July 5, 2022
Minor League Baseball Weekly Top Performers Some big-name prospects in minor league baseball had big weeks this week, but their productive weeks fell just short of the weeks put up by other players around the minors, leading to the spotlight put on players who perhaps have had less overall exposure to the average fan at this point. Some excellent names also popped back up this week of guys that were once big-time prospects, so let’s dig in! Hitter of the WeekOnce considered the future “chosen one” of the Yankees franchise, Estevan Florial was originally signed out of the Dominican Republic by New York in 2014. He made good on his…

Minor League Baseball Daily Thread for May 15, 2022
Minor League Baseball Top Performers Saturday was apparently “Andrew” day in minor league baseball as both top performers are named Andrew. There were other incredible performances on the day that were on par with both guys, but they were just a hair better. Let’s look at Saturday’s best and prepare for the final day of the sixth week of minor league ball already this year! Hitter of the DayNo longer rookie eligible, Washington’s Andrew Stevenson has been part of the organization since the Nationals selected him in the second round in 2015 out of LSU. Stevenson has fourth outfielder skills, excellent defensively around the outfield, but his bat has never…

Minor League Baseball Daily Thread for May 5, 2022
Minor League Baseball Top Performers A minor league team scored 24 runs on Wednesday, and multiple pitchers had elite outings, though fairly short ones. Let’s take a look at the top performers across minor league baseball from Wednesday and look ahead to Thursday’s games! Hitter of the DayOne of the biggest prep power bats in the 2019 draft, Rece Hinds was selected by the Reds in the second round and has struggled to fully tap into his raw power in his time in the Cincinnati organization. Despite that, he was promoted to High-A to open 2022, and he’s struggled to open the season. If Wednesday was his breakout, it was…

Minor League Baseball Daily Thread for April 25, 2022
Minor League Baseball Top Performers Offense again ruled the day on Sunday as minor league baseball finished up its second full week of the season. No games will be played today, so remember that tomorrow’s daily thread will include hitter of the week, pitcher of the week, top weekly performers, and the overall minor league leaders. Make sure to check it out! Hitter of the DayThrough his first four pro seasons in the Kansas City Royals organization, Herard Gonzalez displayed excellent glove skills and a sharp eye at the plate, but his contact skills have always been in question. The lean Dominican has shown more power with Quad Cities this…

Minor League Baseball daily top performers for April 18, 2022
Minor League Baseball Top Performers The end of the second week brought a lot of great performances, but minor league baseball still has not hit its stride. Pitchers are still building up innings, and hitters are still not quite picking up pitches that they’ll be crushing by the end of the season. Let’s take a look at Sunday’s top performers! Hitter of the DayOriginally drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the first round out of high school, Matt McLain went to UCLA, and the Cincinnati Reds selected McLain with the 17th overall pick last summer. McLain was pushed to Double-A by the Reds in an aggressive assignment, but he’s had…

Minor League Baseball Daily Thread for April 12, 2022
Minor League Baseball Top Performers After one week of minor league baseball (one weekend for non-Triple-A leagues), there have been plenty of impressive performances at all levels. On a weekly basis, I intend to produce this list on Tuesdays rather than a regular daily performers list to highlight the weekly performers. The statistics are through Sunday for each player, and the intention will be that any player highlighted in the hitter or pitcher of the week will only get the honor once in the season in order to highlight as many players as possible throughout the season (though if a player is worthy of multiple hitter/pitcher of the day recognition…

Minor League Baseball Daily Thread for April 11, 2022
Minor League Baseball Top Performers The first weekend of the minor league baseball season is complete, and with that comes the first Monday off day for nearly every team in the minor leagues today. With no performances to review tomorrow, look for a “top performers of the week” post on Tuesday, something we’ll do each week throughout the season! Hitter of the DayThe Orioles drafted Hudson Haskin out of Tulane in the second round of the 2020 draft. The outfielder showed excellent plate discipline and flashed double-plus speed despite battling a thumb fracture in 2021. The real test for a college bat is hitting upper level pitching, however, and Haskin…
