Over the past two years, Chris Stratton has found a home in the Pittsburgh Pirates bullpen. The former first-round pick was traded to Pittsburgh in May 2019. After posting a 5.09 ERA in 2018, he has been a different pitcher with the Pirates.
Over the last two weeks, the Red Sox rotation has struggled. Since June 1, they have posted a 4.97 ERA. However, during that stretch, their Opening Day starter Nathan Eovaldi has been one of the few consistent arms.
So far this season, the Worcester Woosox have been watched closely. The Boston Red Sox Triple affiliate has some of the Red Sox’s top prospects inching closer to the majors. One player, however, who has stood out this season is Kaleb Ort.
For the majority of the 2021 season, the Pittsburgh Pirates have been without Ke’Bryan Hayes. After missing 52 games, Hayes returned to the lineup on June 3. Despite missing two months, the Pirates’ third baseman has picked up where he left off and provided a spark to the offense.
After a slow start to the season, Franchy Cordero has found his swing in Triple-A. The twenty-six-year-old began the season in the majors but hit .179 in 34 games. Since being sent down, however, he has looked like a different player and showed the tools that made him a key piece in the Benintendi deal.
With the MLB Draft five weeks away, the Boston Red Sox will soon add more talent to their minor league system. Over the last few months, Boston has been tied to multiple players including, Jack Leiter, Brady House, and Marcelo Mayer.
Although the Detroit Tigers have struggled this season, Spencer Turnbull has been a bright spot. After having a career year in 2020, the Alabama native has been even better this year.
The 2021 MLB draft is only six weeks away. One player who might hear his name called is Louisville’s infielder Alex Binelas. Let’s take a look at where the 21-year-old stands with the draft approaching.
Jackson Jobe is projected to be a top-10 pick following a dominant senior year. The Oklahoma native has an impressive arsenal and is the top prep arm in the 2021 draft class. Let’s take a look at what he will bring to a major league team.
Through the first two months of the season, Richard Rodriguez has been one of baseball’s best relievers. As the Pirates have gotten off to a 17-24 start, Rodriguez has been a bright spot.
After getting off to a 1-14 start, Triston Casas has been tearing the cover off the ball. The Boston Red Sox No. 1 prospect had a six RBI night on May 12 and is playing the best baseball of his professional career.
Over the past two years, Jarren Duran has become one of the Red Sox’s most popular prospects. The twenty-four-year-old is the Red Sox third-best prospect and off to a hot start. While the minor league season is less than two weeks old, Duran’s skills have been on full display. With Duran’s MLB debut expected to come at some point in the next year, he is providing hope for a bright future.
