Griffin is the top prospect in baseball by a mile. And I almost put him in the 70 FV tier, which is the highest I'll put any hypothetical prospect, as that means I expect him to be on MVP ballots with 5-plus WAR seasons every year.

Jordan Ayala, 16, said he's moving his graduation date up to preserve his arm and take a look at becoming a professional after high school.

Trailing 2-0, New Hampshire scored its first eight runs of the second inning without giving up a hit in Tuesday's game in Portland, Maine. In all, the Fisher Cats posted 10 runs in the inning -- nine with two outs -- on just one hit and without the benefit of any errors.

Centre field is the most straightforward position if everybody is healthy. Daulton Varsho will start there after a strong-albeit injury-shortened-campaign in 2025 during which he slugged 20 home runs with 55 RBIs in just 71 games. He also played exceptional defense to the tune of nine outs above average with a +6 fielding run value. Varsho will have plenty to play for in 2026 with his contract set to expire at season's end.

Their 2024 first-round selection, Trey Yesavage, started the year off in Single-A Dunedin. By the time he was finished, he had just shattered multiple postseason records by a rookie starting pitcher. Arjun Nimmala took another step towards becoming a true upper-echelon prospect. Johnny King emerged as a teenage phenom with gaudy swing-and-miss ability. Juan Sanchez appears to be their first IFA signee with true star potential since Vladimir Guerrero Jr. The list goes on.

Versatile Cavan Biggio is expected to join the Houston Astros' spring training camp as a non-roster player on Sunday after signing a minor league deal with the team.

The Toronto Blue Jays' first-round pick in the 2025 MLB Draft, Parker is a teenager who voided his commitment to play for the Mississippi State Bulldogs in order to sign. He's revered for a strong hit tool and command of the strike zone, though his power has been lagging behind as he fills out his 6'2" frame.

Speed is definitely a major component of his game as Cook has earned a scouting scale of 80 for his speed grade ahead of the 2025 MLB Draft. The Blue Jays would select the promising outfield prospect in the third round that year, No. 81 overall. But more importantly, he wants to show Toronto that his game isn't just about speed and that he could be a complete player. As per The Athletic, Cook would love to be "more like Byron Buxton" when he fully develops and matures, but that of course is still quite a ways away.
