When healthy, Taylor boasts some very promising tools, including extremely high extension. His over-the-top delivery leads to a steep plane on his high 90s fastball which grades out as a plus offering due to its above-average ride for his 5.7’ release point. He wields a trio of hard breaking balls in his cutter, slider, and curveball. Each of those offerings are intriguing and flash plus, and some time plus-plus characteristics. The most interesting pitch of Taylor's arsenal is his new kick changeup, similar to that of fellow White Sox Davis Martin. The pitch exhibits late break and flashes plus traits, with command limiting its effectiveness. His injury history and violent delivery may restrict him to a bullpen role in the future, but Taylor looks fully healthy, and his stuff is setting off alarm bells of a prospect that is poised to be a big riser in 2025.",2025-06-03 18:27:58,

The 2024 Hoglund who tossed low 90s with an arsenal full of below average offerings completely revamped his game. The most noticeable change Hoglund made was as great increase in his release height. This adjustment rose his arm angle from low ¾ to more ¾ and had a drastic impact on his pitch shapes. His fastball averaged +3 MPH throughout the Spring which also exhibiting +7” iVB. This change elevated it from a below average offering to near plus-plus. These improvements in grades were reflected in the rest of his pitches and he displayed more ideal movement in conjunction with improved velocity. Hoglund’s changeup may be his best pitch as it exhibited an incredible amount of drop and arm-side run in the mid 80s. The offering averaged ~15” of vertical separation form his fastball with plenty dropping below 0 iVB. The goodness doesn’t stop there, as his sinker and curveball looked strong as well. Hoglund’s slider was his least effective pitch in 2024, and it took a backseat this Spring. He still tossed it a handful of times, but dialing back its usage seemed necessary. This new version of Hogland looks much stronger to say the least. There are still questions about if Hoglund can maintain these improvements in longer stints, but his solid strike-throwing ability could make him an effective mid-rotation starter sooner rather than later.",2025-06-03 18:27:40,

His fastball gets solid movement from a lefty slot at a 5.7’ release height, averaging 15” iVB and 8” HB. Its sheer amount of break makes it a whiff-generating machine, which he elevates with his tendency to locate it up and arm-side. He also throws a slider, which has tight two-plane movement and sits in the low-80s. It’s combination of sweep and drop makes it both a fantastic whiff pitch and leads to many groundballs. He rounds out his arsenal with a high 80s changeup, which has shown flashes of promise. It is heavily underutilized and will be key in Smith’s path as an MLB starter. Smith's effectiveness stems from his ability to generate whiffs in the zone, however he is struggling to command his offerings to start his pro-career. His strike throwing was more refined in college, so I would expect his poor zone rates to correct themselves as he develops. Another damper on his profile is his inability to maintain velocity throughout his starts. The White Sox sent Smith to a biomechanical workshop to help iron out his mechanics and tap into his potential. Smith is a deceptive lefty whose fastball/slider combo makes me optimistic that he can be a mid-rotation starter in the future.",2025-06-03 18:53:04,

His splitter is a brilliant whiff pitch thanks to its late break. His consistency on the offering could be better, as he hangs in the heart of the zone a lot more often than it should. His fastball does not have many redeeming qualities, as it has average velocity with average ride from a higher slot. The results have been incredibly poor, which makes me comfortable grading the pitch well below average. His slider brings us back to the positive side, sitting at 85-88 MPH with slight cutting action. Waldrep’s splitter is a special pitch, but without better command and stronger fastball, I find it difficult to project him a starter long-term. I hope he proves me wrong.",2025-05-09 22:47,

With a full offseason to work out his issues, Leiter looks the back top prospect self. Leiter’s fastball has a ton of life, sitting 97-99 MPH while averaging 17” iVB from a 5.6’ release and 6.9’ extension. Early on in 2025, Leiter is consistently hitting triple digits with the offering while maintaining a very flat VAA. His slider sits in the upper 80s with tight two-plane action. The newest additions to his arsenal, his sinker and kick changeup, lay the foundation for Leiter to tap into his potential. His sinker sits 96-98 MPH with equal vertical and horizontal movement, making it an effective damage mitigating pitch against RHH. The changeup sits in the low 90s with incredible amount of depth, but he has struggled to command it well. He rounds out his arsenal with his typical curveball which he leans on against LHH. Leiter wields some of the best stuff in baseball and it finally looks like he has the arsenal to tackle any batter. His upside is a #1/2, and he’s already showing that off this season.",2025-05-10 7:06,

He has seen a substantial increase in his fastball velocity in 2025, with an additional +1.5 MPH compared to last season, which has it sitting 94-96 MPH. This increase, along with a lower arm slot and more ride on his fastball, has pushed it to average status while flashing above average traits. He doesn't have the greatest feel for the offering, but is able to battle back into counts thanks to its strong swing and miss numbers. He added a sinker this season, which sits in the same velocity band as his fastball and deviates slightly from his 3/4 slot. The prized pitch in Wenninger's arsenal is his changeup. It sits at 83-85 MPH and exhibits ~15"" of vertical separation from his fastball. It's low spin nature leads to some wasted pitches, but he is mostly consistent in repeating its shape and locating it low in the zone and inside vs LHH. This pitch is so effective vs LHH, that Wenninger has exhibited reverse splits throughout his pro-career. He rounds out his arsenal with a slider with tight gyro movement and slight depth at 83-85 MPH. He is doing a better job at attacking the zone and getting ahead in counts, which is reflected in his improved walk rate. Wenninger's deeper arsenal and refined command has his prospect stock rising rapidly as he looks like another win for the Mets renowned pitching lab.",2025-05-11 1:24,

His sinker sits 93-94 mph and makes up over 60% of his usage, showing good an equal blend of ride and run which deviates greatly from his arm slot. His slider averages 81 mph with a ""deathball"" like shape. Its slight glove-side action paired with its low depth helps it miss bats below the zone. The splitter is a real standout offering, sitting at 83 mph with late break and extreme deviation from his fastball. He also mixes in a mid-80s cutter that he leans on against LHH. Barco's command has typically been a strong suit, but he has struggled to hit the zone consistently this season and is running the highest BB% of his pro-career. The arsenal is amongst the most distinctive in MiLB, which should give him an edge despite seemingly lacklustre pitch metrics.
