? Spring Breakout | Top 100 prospects | Stats | Video | Podcast | Complete coverage
Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff begin by talking about what they're most interested in about this season, from Japanese pitching sensation Roki Sasaki coming to the Majors to top 2024 draftees playing their first full pro seasons to Phillies right-hander Andrew Painter returning to complete health.
The guys also take a look at Top 100 Prospects who are beginning the year in the big leagues (such as Red Sox second baseman Kristian Campbell) and those who are waiting for the call from Triple-A (such as Pirates righty Bubba Chandler).
They wrap up by talking about the prognosis for prospects who struggled in the big leagues last season, including outfielders Dylan Crews (Nationals) and Jasson Dom¨ªnguez (Yankees), before answering a listener mailbag question about the complex leagues.
On the MLB Pipeline Podcast, Mayo and Callis are your tour guides through all the unfolding stories and breaking news of baseball's top prospects.
