Dog Days of Summer

MLB Pipeline

It's late August, the week after launching all of MLB Pipeline's new rankings, but there was still plenty to talk about on this week's episode. Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff dig some more into the new Top 100 list, examining new names on the list, including Red Sox second baseman/outfielder Kristian Campbell, Dodgers lefty Jackson Ferris and a pair of Nationals flame-throwers (one of whom isn't officially on the list . . . yet!). From there, the guys take a look at 2024 Draftees and how they've started their pro careers, focusing on guys with some upward mobility, like first-rounders Christian Moore (Angels) and Nick Kurtz (Athletics). While the Arizona Fall League doesn't start until early October, it's never too early to dream about rosters, with Jim and Jonathan providing a wish list of who they'd like to see this year before providing a "si" or "no" on if they think the top 30 prospects from the Top 100 will head to the AFL. The episode finishes, as always, with a mailbag question asking about two college bats from the Class of '24.
