Are You For Real? Surprising MLB Pitcher Starts from Week 23
Ryan Webb Impressing In Single-A
Cleveland Guardians pitching prospect Ryan Webb is a 24-year-old southpaw who was selected in the fourth round of the 2021 draft.

Oscar Santos Showing Improvement In Minors
Arizona Diamondbacks minor league catcher Oscar Santos hasn't done a whole lot to impress this season, hitting just .206 with a miserable 40.6 percent strikeout rate. He hasn't shown off much power, lacks speed, and has thrown out just 18.2 percent of base-stealers. The 21-year-old has been in Single-A since last September and doesn't seem... Read More
Yu-Min Lin Flirts With No-Hitter
Arizona Diamondbacks pitching prospect Yu-Min Lin has garnered plenty of attention lately, and rightfully so.

He now has 46... Read More
Cody Laweryson Has Impressive Week In Minors
Minnesota Twins pitching prospect Cody Laweryson has posted impressive numbers between High-A and Double-A this season. The former 14th-round pick doesn't have a whole lot of heat behind his pitches, but he gets the job done with his off-speed offering. FanGraphs' Eric Longenhagen and Tess Taruskin put it best, writing, "Laweryson is in the 'How... Read More
