Scott Rolen is on the ballot for the fifth time this year and has made some significant gains. Can he make another big push to get in this year?
Wagner’s time seems to be running out but with four years more on the ballot and nearly a 30 percent increase over the last three years, can he make a push for induction in the last part of his candidacy?
Drafted in the sixth round in 2019, Wesneski struggled after turning pro. However, he roared back to a huge campaign, reaching AAA with an impressive strikeout rate and a 3.25 ERA across three separate levels. Carter LaCorte had an opportunity to chat with the right-hander about the transition.
Bobby Abreu is on the ballot for the third time after garnering 8.7 percent of the vote last year. While it was just a slight improvement, he should see some strides toward enshrinement soon.
In the third round of the 2020 MLB Draft, the Boston Red Sox selected Blaze Jordan with the 89th overall pick. The Mississippi native was one of the top high school power bats and youngest players in his class.
In 2021, Kevin Kopps was named the best player in college baseball for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Less than a year later, he was taken by the San Diego Padres in the third round of the MLB Draft. While the last few months have been full of change, the Texas native has excelled everywhere he has pitched.
Toronto is an up-and-coming team with a young core of players. But for now, we take a look back on the relatively short history of the Blue Jays and who makes their all-time roster.
With the 10th overall pick, the San Diego Padres nabbed right-handed pitcher Grant Gavin from the Royals in the Rule 5 draft. Gavin spoke to PTST’s Carter LaCorte about the move in an exclusive interview.
In the 2018 MLB Draft, the San Diego Padres selected Steven Wilson with the 231st overall pick. Over the last three years, Wilson has steadily moved through the system and is currently the Padres’ 21st best prospect. While San Diego missed the playoffs in 2021, Wilson moved closer to the majors.
On Sunday evening, the results of two era committees’ ballots were announced for the Baseball Hall of Fame. It was the first meeting of both the Early Baseball Era and Golden Days Era Committees. The Early Baseball Era Committee considered candidates who made an impact on the game of baseball prior to 1950. The Golden Days Era Committee considered candidates who contributed from 1950-69.
The short history of the Arizona Diamondbacks has not yet reached 25 years, but that doesn’t mean that the organization has not had its successes.
