Who is ready for another Opening Day?

The Arizona and Florida Complex Leagues begin play Saturday, officially kicking off the Rookie-level portion of the 2025 Minor League schedule.

That might still feel early for those who have been following the Minors for a while. The Complex League schedules were moved up a

When players are taken in the early rounds of the MLB Draft, it’s easy to dream about seeing them under the bright lights of the big leagues, but a common refrain has been that fans don't get to see those players for years after they're selected.

Thanks to Spring Breakout, we

Ding, ding, who’s ready for Round 2?

Last year’s inaugural edition of Spring Breakout gave fans early looks at Paul Skenes, Jackson Chourio, Pete Crow-Armstrong, James Wood, Jackson Holliday, Ceddanne Rafaela and many other young stars who graduated off prospect lists in 2024. Not only does it serve as a great

Spring Breakout will soon offer the opportunity for the majority of baseball's top prospects to face off against each other for the second straight year. Fearsome sluggers against hard-throwing pitchers. Speedy baserunners against cannon-armed catchers. Well-rounded shortstops battling to prove who should be ranked higher.

Full rosters for all 30 teams

After Spring Breakout's dynamic debut last year, the prospect showcase event returns in full force for 2025.

All 30 Major League teams will field squads of top prospects to face off in 16 games from March 13-16 -- the Cubs and Nationals will play twice since there's an odd number of

A lot of players will be getting a fresh start heading into the 2025 season.

Prospects who missed significant time due to injury have had upwards of six months between regular-season games to return to health. Now they'll be looking to re-establish their value and maybe even reach new heights.

The two-time defending-champion Kansas City Chiefs are set to meet the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, and plenty of baseball prospects will be keeping a close eye. After all, many current Minor Leaguers played football at a high level before committing fully to the diamond.

No, there aren't any dual-sports

Players featured on last year’s edition of the best tools among Top 100 prospects should look familiar to even casual baseball fans at this point.

Pirates right-hander Paul Skenes (best fastball, slider) took the Major Leagues by storm as the NL Rookie of the Year, thanks to his hard-throwing

Last year, the right-hander we had at the top of this always-deep Top 10 prospects list went on to win the National League Rookie of the Year, as Pirates flamethrower Paul Skenes went from No. 1 pick in the 2023 Draft to top rookie in the NL a year later.

Now

MLB Pipeline will reveal its 2025 Top 100 Prospects list at 7 p.m. ET on Friday, Jan. 24, with a one-hour show on MLB Network and MLB.com. Leading up to the release of the Top 100, we'll examine baseball's top 10 prospects at each position.

NEW YORK -- All roads do not lead to Cooperstown. There is no highway that makes the trip a quick and easy one -- no, we're not counting nearby Routes 88 and 90 -- nor is there a starting point that automatically gives one player an advantage over another.

MLB Pipeline gives our organizational Top 30 prospect rankings complete refreshes twice per calendar year (once in spring, once in-season) and provides other live updates as graduations and other transactions necessitate them.

There’s no denying that the 2024 Arizona Fall League season was historic. There was a little bit of everything in the desert, with record books being rewritten during the 32nd year of prospects putting their skills on display.

It’s always difficult to gauge just how significant six weeks' worth of statistical

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- A rough second start in the Arizona Fall League on Oct. 16 looked like it might derail the bounceback journey of Connor Phillips, but the Reds’ No. 15 prospect had other ideas.

Phillips closed a disastrous regular season at Triple-A Louisville with a strong five-start stretch,

GLENDALE, Ariz. – One reason why teams send players to the Arizona Fall League is because a decision has to be made about putting them on the 40-man roster or leaving them exposed to December’s Rule 5 Draft. This last stretch of performances, and how a player responds to the

This fall, for the first time, the majority of Arizona Fall League stadiums are outfitted with Statcast technology. That enables us to peek under the hood and get a better sense of how some of the game’s best prospects are performing on the annual elite prospect circuit.

With that in mind,

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- After missing the entirety of the 2024 season following left shoulder surgery, Matt McLain needed at-bats. Even though the Reds infielder had 365 big-league at-bats in 2023 and received Rookie of the Year votes, he opted to come back to the Arizona Fall League, where

PEORIA, Ariz. -- The last time Edwin Arroyo had a four-hit game in a professional setting was with Single-A Modesto on June 3, 2022. That feels like a lifetime, or maybe even two, ago in the career of the 21-year-old shortstop. Arroyo was traded from the Mariners to

When the Mariners and Reds swung a blockbuster Trade Deadline deal in July 2022, the first name mentioned wasn’t Edwin Arroyo. Nor was it the second. Luis Castillo, then a two-time All-Star, and Noelvi Marte, then MLB’s No. 18 overall prospect, were the headliners, even if many evaluators

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- The world looked a lot different the last time Matt McLain and Sean McLain started in the same lineup on Aug. 10, 2020.

The 32nd season of the Arizona Fall League is a week old, and already, there are top prospects standing out amid the field of, well, top prospects.

Here are the top performers from the first week of AFL action:

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Connor Phillips went from the top of the Reds organization to the bottom in nine months. After making his big league debut last September, he found himself reassigned to the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League this June.
