Minor League Baseball Daily Thread for April 8, 2022
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…

The biggest question remaining for Leon is his defense, and that was still present as he committed two errors at shortstop on Opening Day. Pitcher of the DayInterestingly, the guy who threw the first pitch of the minor…

Minor League Baseball Daily Thread for February 22, 2020
I will be putting forth a more in-depth piece on this for Prospects Live, but I wanted to offer out all the players entering camp without options. This means that their teams cannot send them to the minor leagues without exposing them to waivers. These are players to be watching this spring as they battle for jobs!
