Yankees MILB 5/8: Chase Hampton Finally Returns

Top 30 Prospects  Injury Log Notes: Two significant minor league updates involving pitchers. First, the bad news:  RHP Luis Gil is on the 7-day injured list for Scranton.

Yankees MILB 7/19: Hudson Valley’s No-Hitter

News The draft was interesting for the Yankees. Everyone assumed the Yankees had an “all pitching” mentality but that doesn’t appear to be the case.

Yankees MILB 7/1: Roc Riggio Continues Hot Streak

News: Typically speaking, full-season leagues have Monday off. Not this week. Rather, they will play a Monday – Saturday schedule with Sunday off. That means they will get both Sunday and Monday off next week. RHP Chase Hampton, who I assumed may not pitch in 2024, threw a rehab game for the FCL today.  I […]

Notes: I tend to rank prospects who have yet to make it to a full-season league lower than most. The attrition rate is too high, and that is true even for the best of the best. I try to keep the list simple. Other publications that are readily available will get into in-depth discussion. I […]
