Jackson Chourio, Jesus Made, and now Luis Pena. Either the Brewers have figured something out and have an edge in scouting Latin America, or they've gotten extremely lucky.

Hao-Yu Lee is really quite good. Tigers farm system is *really* good. Metrics are superior to Marcelo Mayer's.

Tanner, I see that you've worked your whole life chasing the elusive dream of being a big leaguer. I'm just a "nerd", but if you can find 3-4 MPH of exit velo, your other metrics suggest you might still be able to achieve that dream. Get yourself to DriveLine or similar.

Jurickson Profar is really good. Like *really* freaking good. Went from 40 grade EVs to 55-60 grade EVs, and kept his incredible decisions and contact. This season was NOT a fluke. I don't think I've ever seen anything like this.

Bryce Eldridge has so much upside, with a very glaring hole against non fastballs. I'll probably headline with him next week and do a deep dive.

This is the #1 prospect in baseball. Handling AA at 18. Get aboard the Walcott train.

Sebastian Walcott whistles his first Double-A homer out at 107 mph 🚀 The 18-year-old (MLB's No. 35 prospect) extends his @Rangers farm system lead with 54 XBH across two levels in 2024. @RidersBaseball | @TEXPlayerDev

Spencer Jones is going to be a monster. He learned how to lift the ball. He's now a more athletic version of Matt Wallner. Yankees player dev with a massive W here.

Cole Young is going to be a very good major league hitter for a very long time. Should be an on-base machine, with 10-15 HR power.

Samuel Basallo continues to have the best damage-on-contact profile in all of the minor leagues, all while being super-young for the level. His EV metrics suggest 75, 75, 80, 80+ power, with better contact when he gets it in the air. Might lead the majors in Home Runs.

For years, you've been told that batting average isn't important. It's time to get off (someone's) lawn, since the boomers were right, batting average is important. elibenporat.substack.com/p/the-boomers-…

🔥 Take: Jonah Tong is the 4th best pitching prospect in baseball after Skenes/Jobe/Painter. If the velo ticks up as he matures, he might just be the best pitching prospect in baseball. He also pitches well below his max, so I have fewer concerns about his long term health.

Spencer Jones' zone contact continues to trend up, launch angles remain elite. What a transformation from a low launch angle guy, to an elevate and celebrate guy.

Samuel Basallo is up to 20 HRs in 63 games: OPS 1.1019 Still only 20 years old. He needs to be in the majors, gotta keep challenging the kid. Crushes all pitch types. Hits the ball super hard, makes his best contact in the air. Nick Kurtz as a catcher?
