RANKINGS RISERS 📈
10 Notable Risers From Top 30s Updates
While you wait for our org-specific updates on rankings risers and fallers, here’s a sneak peek featuring 10 notable prospects who climbed rankings in our new Top 30 update.
Players are listed in alphabetical order and focus on lower-rated names further down rankings rather than well-known Top 100 Prospects.
HOT SHEET 🔥
Kane Kepley Tops The Latest Hot Sheet
Baseball America’s Hot Sheet ranks the hottest prospects from the previous week while also identifying a weekly helium player to keep tabs on.
This week’s Hot Sheet is topped by Kane Kepley, who is building on a reputation as one of the minor leagues’ most advanced hitters by bullying the competition in the Midwest League, including a tour de force last week in which he slashed .560/.656/.720 (14-for-25) and was a perfect 8-for-8 stealing bases. He also crushed his first home run of the year and scored 14 runs.
Join us at 2 p.m. ET on Monday for our weekly Hot Sheet prospect chat and be sure to watch the Hot Sheet show on Tuesday at 3 p.m. ET on YouTube.
