Very interested in seeing how highly-touted Rangers' prospect Jacob deGrom does today. Here's some of his stuff from a recent minor league outing. Seems to have solid command of both his fastball and slider, especially to his glove side. Mixes in an occasional changeup. Curious how his stuff will... show more

Gotta feel for those hitters. They have zero chance.

St. Lucie Mr Met1 year ago

Not sure if he gets run support at the next level. He should try to hit as well and win some games for himself

Stay Safe, Stay Sane, Stay Home1 year ago

He's no Rafael Montero but we'll see how it goes.

MyDrumLuck1 year ago

He's definitely got the stuff to be a multiple Cy Young winner.

Tyler Hill1 year ago

How many k’s you think he get?

Rob Friedman1 year ago

Really depends how long he goes. My guess is around 7. But it's a guess, I'm assuming he'll only go about 70-75 pitches today.

Its definitely interesting, he’s a bit older as a prospect but success in the minors. We’ll see how his start goes, good luck youngster

i've never heard of this guy, but i think it's an incredible story for a 36 year old pitcher to still be fighting in the minors in the roster spot. hope he gets promoted

$1000 says he will be back on IL in 3 games

Every pitch from Kruz Schoolcraft's bridge league debut. Fastball sat at 97-99 mph, changeup at 90 mph. He did not use his slider today. The Padres first-round pick in this year's Draft will remain in Peoria through instructs, which start at the end of next week.

Isaiah Magdaleno has been dealing all summer long for the Ridgefield Raptors in the West Coast League. On the mound for Ridgefield, Isaiah Magdaleno has excelled with his Changeup, inducing a 57% Whiff and a 45% In-Zone Whiff 😮‍💨 With an 11 mph velo differential from his Fastball and a good feel to kill spin, his best pitch is his CH with a Stuff+ of 124. Magdaleno is set to return to Hawaii Baseball this fall! West Coast League | #643Charts

In terms of pure stuff, I don’t think there’s anybody in the Rangers bullpen that comes close to Gavin Collyer. He can pump gas with his fastball up to 100 MPH, and spins his sweeper at 3000 RPM. I think the 100 in on the hands to Julio followed by the sweeper for a strike might just be the most unfair sequence I’ve seen from a Rangers reliever in recent memory.

Good look at UCLA Baseball RHP Logan Reddemann, a very highly sought after transfer from San Diego. Threw a 1-2-3 inning against UC Irvine today. Fastball up to 95 and mixed in his signature changeup beautifully. Funky, up-tempo delivery with a 3/4s slot. Full outing video:

Emerson Hancock dropped his arm angle 14 degrees from 2024 to 2026, becoming a sidearm pitcher with one of the lowest slots in the league. With this drop in arm angle he adjusted his attack from sinker/ slider/ changeup to a 4 seam/ sweeper combo, which has unlocked his upside.

Brock Rodden is my #19 Mariners prospect. A switch hitter, Rodden does it differently from each side. On the left side, Rodden has solid swing decisions and gets the ball in the air to the pull side, which is great considering his Max EV from the left side this year is a paltry 107.4 MPH. He’s going to whiff, but his consistent ability to elevate from this side of the plate gives him some intrigue. From the right side, Rodden becomes a completely different hitter. His chase rate jumps 9% and his ability to elevate vanishes. Instead, he consistently makes more contact both in and out of the zone. This is definitely his weaker side as there’s no threat other than potentially an annoying at-bat. He strikes out considerably less from this side, but he also walks significantly less. Lastly, his defensive versatility will be of great value in Seattle, especially for a team with bad defense almost everywhere. He’ll probably suit up everywhere other than first base and catcher. Rodden won the 2024 MiLB Utility Gold Glove award. Welcome to Seattle, Brock Rodden!

𝐉𝐎𝐄𝐘 𝐎𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐏𝐄𝐑 𝐂𝐔𝐓 Iowa’s no. 1 prospect in 2024 sat 95-96 T97 with a sharp slider at 87 in his first inning of work. Low slot with fastball that shows some late arm side run and carry at other times. Solid tilt on slider: Chase pitch + swing/miss in zone. Impressive all around. Joey Oakie | Shooter Hunt

Brock Porter has quietly had a very strong start to his 2026 season. The Rangers 4th round pick in 2022 has not had the smoothest of starts to his career, but he’s been steadily developing well these past two seasons. Porter threw 2.2 innings in relief today, allowing 2 hits, 1 earned run, 3 walks, and struck out 5 in 66 pitches. Brock moved to the bullpen in 2025 and since then he’s had an ERA of 2.77 in 94.1 innings across both Hickory and Hub City. In his 2026 season specifically, Porter has thrown 26 innings, while possessing a 34.1% Whiff%, a 24.8% K%, and is holding opposing batters to a .181 batting average against. Porter throws a fastball, cutter, sweeper, and changeup. His fastball averages 16.9 inches of vertical break and 4.8 inches of arm-side run. It sits around 94, which is improved since his 2024 struggles. His changeup is by far his best pitch. It sits in the low-80s and really gets impressive arm-side run and late dive. He’s perfectly comfortable throwing it in any count to any handedness of hitter, and it is his primary whiff pitch. His cutter and sweeper are lagging behind a bit, but the sweeper especially averages 15 inches of glove-side break and is really impressive when he can land it where he wants. What’s always held Brock Porter back before has been his command, and while his walk rates are still too high if he wants to ever get back in starting rotation conversations, it’s far better than the immense struggles he endured early in his career. It’s important to remember that Brock Porter is still only 22 years old. For now at least, as he turns 23 next month. There’s still plenty of time for him to continue in his development, and I’m encouraged by the progress he’s made.
