These 10 prospects have yet to play in the majors this year, but each could make an impact on a big-league roster before season's end.
In a year of rather slow starts for some of MLB's top young talents, the much-anticipated arrival of baseball's top pitching prospect has brought life to the 2024 class. Facing the same Cubs team he saw in his debut, Pittsburgh's Paul Skenes racked up 11 strikeouts without allowing a hit over six innings in his second career start last week. The flame-throwing right-hander out of LSU now has 18 strikeouts in 10 innings over his first two outings.
The first call will likely go to Jung, who has split his time between second and third base, playing mostly the latter of late. With Colt Keith starting to look better at second base, Jung's chance will likely arrive at the hot corner, much like his older brother, Josh, in Texas. Entering Tuesday, Detroit third basemen have produced a 92 wRC+, which ranks 22nd in the majors. Overall, the Tigers' lineup ranks 20th in MLB in slugging. That's where Jung can help.
