Plus: Key trends from MLB season's 1st week
After Triple-A play began last Friday, Double-A, High-A and Single-A circuits followed this week, meaning we're running at 100 percent participation across the Minor League full-season levels.
Some of the most fun parts of every campaign are the breakouts – players who weren't prominently ranked on prospect lists but surprise evaluators with improved tools and on-field performance. We don't see every breakout coming, by definition, but some are easier to predict than others.
Our MLB Pipeline team spread out across Arizona and Florida this spring, so now they bring you one breakout candidate for each of the 30 organizations, along with comments from their respective farm directors. | |
| Jackson Chourio, who at just 19 years old ranks No. 6 in MLB Pipeline's Top 100, seems to always wear the smile you'd expect on someone coming off the most joyous baseball season of his life. | | | | Sometimes your parents drop you off at school. Sometimes they drop you off at ... work? Corbin Carroll shared a special moment with his folks ahead of the D-backs' home opener. | | |
| Garrett Mitchell said something that might be considered a marital faux pas -- he assessed that he plays better when his wife isn't at the ballpark. | | |
| Marlins general manager Kim Ng and president of business operations Caroline O'Connor joined officials at 9:30 a.m. to ring the New York Stock Exchange bell, opening trading for the day. | | |
| Friday Night Baseball on Apple TV+ returns today with Rangers-Cubs from Wrigley Field at 2 p.m. ET and Padres-Braves in Atlanta at 7. | | |
| SABR's "Baseball Memories" program uses the game to connect with people -- and their care partners --who suffer from memory disorders. | | |
| Host AJ Andrews is joined by the pop star siblings on Play Ball, the baseball show for kids, Saturday at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET. | | |
| Miguel Cabrera has played 1,001 games at Comerica Park, which opened in 2000. Only one other player has played 1,000 games in any ballpark that opened this century. Which player and ballpark? | |
