Here are the top 11 moments from Spring Breakout

One of the main changes in the second edition of Spring Breakout was the extension of games. Instead of playing abbreviated seven-inning contests like in 2024, the prospect showcases lasted a full nine frames.

That revision meant more of everything: more at-bats, more filthy pitches and most importantly, more eye-popping moments.

On the latest MLB Pipeline Podcast, Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Sam Dykstra focused on those very moments, breaking down each contest and identifying their favorite memories.

Players meet up before Rays vs. Red Sox

Dykstra: There was a pregame meeting between the Rays and the Red Sox, and it almost felt like a reverse version of the [scene in] “Field of Dreams,” where the 1919 White Sox are coming out of the corn. This was the future of baseball coming out of the dugouts and meeting in the middle.

Boston’s “Big Three” all leave the yard

Callis: Kristian Campbell (MLB No. 7) comes up in the third inning, he's facing Trevor Harrison ... and he just takes a really easy swing, and the ball just keeps carrying and carrying opposite field, right-center, home run.

So, we're not even done with that conversation, and two pitches later, Marcelo Mayer (MLB No. 12) backspins a ball down the right-field line that gets out. So back-to-back home runs.

Then, two innings later, Roman Anthony (MLB No. 2) hit a ball, and it was unofficially measured at 435 feet. The sound the ball made when it came off the bat, it was one of those where, instead of thinking, ‘I wonder if that's going to get out,’ your thought is, ‘How far is that going to go?’

Bubba Chandler (MLB No. 15) puts on a show

Callis: Chandler was so good. He faced six Phillies, got them all out, struck out four.

He didn't throw a fastball under 97 mph, he touched 100 mph four times, and then in the second inning, he struck out the side on three different pitches.

A’s arms toss six hitless frames

Mayo: Luis Morales (ATH No. 5), really good stuff, two hitless, struck out two. Gunnar Hogland (No. 16) was perfect in two innings, and he struck out four. He was followed up by Chen Zhong-Ao Zhuang (No. 30). He came in and also threw two no-hit innings and struck out three, which set the stage for the A's to win their game 5-2.

Tai Peete (SEA No. 12) dazzles on the Spring Breakout stage (plus No. 9 prospect Jurrangelo Cijntje switch-pitching)

Mayo: The Mariners have all these bats in the Top 100, and almost all of them played in the game. Peete is not in the Top 100, but he's got some serious tools, and he showed them off.

He went 3-for-3 in the game. He drove in a pair of runs. He hit a long home run. He stole a base. He kind of did a little bit of everything. Also, from a personality standpoint, he was off the charts. He was interacting with fans and on the outfield berm the whole game and just was loving being a part of Spring Breakout.

Probably the best part of it was when Cijntje was warming up before his first inning ... the buzz when he just took his glove and switched hands during warm-ups was crazy.

Trey Yesavage (MLB No. 87) makes his unofficial Blue Jays debut

Dykstra: Yesavage pitched two innings, gave up two hits, walked nobody, struck out three of the eight batters he faced and showed good stuff too. His fastball averaged 95.5 mph -- he touched 97 mph -- and he had that really good splitter going that I know excited a lot of people out of the Draft.

Vance Honeycutt (BAL No. 5) races around the bases for an inside-the-park home run

Callis: The most exciting play I saw in the four games I went to in Florida was Honeycutt's inside-the-park home run. And it wasn't one of these where a guy dove and the ball got by him and somebody didn't back up a play. It was all Honeycutt.

Winston Santos (TEX No. 5) spins three hitless with six strikeouts

Mayo: Santos was as electric as any pitcher I saw when we were running around Arizona.

He only threw 37 pitches, 26 for strikes. He could have gone four [innings] pretty easily. He got 12 swings and misses. It was just really impressive, 94-97 mph on the fastball, up to 98 mph. Just in complete control.

Tigers’ Bryce Rainer (MLB No. 52) makes unofficial debut; Didier Fuentes (ATL No. 12) shines

Callis: Rainer came out, he went 2-for-3. Both of his singles were to the opposite field. He drove in three runs. One of his singles had a 114 mph exit velocity. So, you could see the hitting ability and the athleticism and the quickness.

If I was giving an award for ‘player I didn't really know much about who really impressed me,’ that would be Fuentes of the Braves. He came in, threw three scoreless frames, gave up one hit, struck out seven, and he was mixing pitches.

Ryan Clifford (NYM No. 4) tees off with towering home run

Dykstra: [Clifford] sent a ball out to straight center field at CACTI Park, and it just kept traveling. I think the marker out there is 406 feet ... I'm like, ‘Oh, that's at least 30 feet beyond that.’

It beat even my expectations. The measurement according to Mets Player Development was 449 feet to serious, straight dead center.

Reds prospects Luis Mey (CIN No. 20) and Zach Maxwell (No. 23) extinguish the Brewers’ bats

Mayo: Luis Mey, everyone's favorite Arizona Fall League reliever, came in and struck out two. [He threw] a 102 mph sinker during that inning, and then Zach Maxwell came in for the ninth to close things out and picked up another two strikeouts, and he was throwing 100-101 mph up in the zone.
