 700251,Brandon Clarke,P,"6' 4""",220.0,Left,Left,2003-04-10,2026.0,High,50.0,60.0,60.0,,,60.0,70.0,40.0,50.0,30.0,40.0,,,30.0,40.0,"Brandon Clarke is a big-framed fire balling lefty that has torn through the lower minors with his electric fastball and slider. Clarke has an ideal build for a pitcher, complete with a low 3/4 slot, long limbs, and over 7 ft of extension. The outlook coming out of the draft had Clarke lined up to be a multi-inning reliever given his high effort delivery and inconsistent strike throwing ability. This however did not deter the Red Sox from stretching him out as a starter. He has gradually increased in workload and his production did not miss a beat. His primary fastball is a sinker which sits in the uppers 90s, topping out at 100 MPH, with over a foot of arm-side run. It won't miss many bats, but it has been exceptional at inducing ground balls thus far. He also weaves in a 4-Seamer which has more cutting action but lacks the ride to be more than an average offering. Clarke's slider is his most used pitch with nearly 50% usage. It sits 87-88 MPH where its 10"" of sweep makes it incredibly difficult for batters to pick up when it is located in the bottom of the zone. It has returned gaudy whiff numbers and has arguably been the most valuable pitch in MiLB this season. Clarke's ability to spin the ball allows his low 80s curveball to generate immense 2-plane movement. He does not have the greatest feel for the pitch, but its shape alone should return strong swing and miss numbers. Clarke's biggest hurdle to being a big league starter will be improving his changeup, which is essentially non-existent at the moment. Right now, Clarke is a 2-pitch pitcher, and that is all he really needs to be unhittable in the lower levels of MiLB. His incredible arm speed and strong underlying pitch traits provide him the helium to storm up the Red Sox pipeline. Adding in that crucial 3rd offering is imperative for his prospects as a starter, however he has the stuff to be a dynamic bullpen piece for Boston right now.",2025-05-13 00:09:16,
 687075,Brandon Sproat,P,"6' 3""",215.0,Right,Right,2000-09-17,2025.0,Medium,50.0,50.0,55.0,,,55.0,60.0,45.0,50.0,60.0,60.0,,,40.0,45.0,"There is no pitching prospect that has tanked their stock more this season than Brandon Sproat. After an electric 2024 which saw his storm through Hi-A and AA on the heels of fastball that hit triple digits, Sproat has struggled immensely since his promotion to AAA. After a trip to the development list cut last season short, it felt like a full winter to recover and build up would allow his elite velocity to return. This was rather the opposite, as Sproat has yet to hit even 99 MPH with his fastball. Sproat cannot overcome his fastball's poor shape in this lower velocity band, which leaves it as an average offering. Due to this inefficiency, Sproat will likely be more effective as a sinkerballer, but that would lead to a heavily depressed strikeout rate. From his low 3/4 slot, his sinker generates over 17"" of arm-side run and helps jam RHH on the inner third. He doesn't generate many whiffs on the offering, but it has effectively limited damage this season. His changeup always flashed plus-plus potential thanks to his low 90s velocity and depth, but he is not seeing the same shape this season. The pitch closely resembles his sinker and has been hit much harder. Sproat's trio of breaking balls were also a highlight of his arsenal as it gave him plenty of options to mix and match his offerings, however the feel for each pitch seems to have degraded to the point that none are returning positive results. Along with all this negativity surrounding his arsenal, Sproat has seen his command falter this season. He is throwing his fastball and sinker in the strike zone at a below average rate, while leaving far too many of his secondaries over the plate. There really is not much redeeming about Sproat's season thus far, and it is safe to say that he has been leapfrogged by multiple arms in the Mets system. The potential he flashed in 2024 gives me hope that he belongs as a Top 100 Prospect, but his results do not paint that picture.",2025-05-16 03:58:15,

His fastball sits 91-94 MPH with above average ride for his release. On a stuff basis, it grades out below average, but it lives in the top of the zone and has returned great results. He fills the heat of the zone with his changeup. While he doesn’t miss many bats with the offering, it is adept at inducing weak contact. He tosses a trio of breaking balls, with his two-plane curveball leaning on the plus side and his cutter and slider mostly used as auxiliary pitches. His command pushes his rank into the Top 50, with a low variance 4/5 starter projection.",2025-06-03 14:29:03,

Ashcraft sits at 94-96 MPH with his fastball. Its shape is seemingly average, with his velocity helping it out ever so slightly. His slider is the pitch to watch here, sitting in the high 80s with above-average movement given its speed. It is his primary whiff offering that gets batters to chase at an elite clip. His curveball doesn’t have the same effectiveness as his slider, but its two-plane shape makes it generate whiffs at an above-average rate. His changeup is not a mainstay in his arsenal, but he increased its usage following his promotion to AAA. It’s lack of movement deviation from his fastball has it grading as a below-average offering. Ashcraft recently added a sinker to his arsenal which looks to complement his slider against RHH. Ashcraft’s knack for throwing strikes has allowed him to run low BB% throughout his career and makes me bullish on his future as a starter. His fastball restricts his projection to a mid-rotation arm at best, but the rest of his toolkit makes him a safe bet to be a staple in the Pirates rotation as soon as 2025.",2025-06-03 14:24:34,

Brecht’s arsenal is highlighted by a plus fastball and elite slider that evoke the stuff of a shutdown closer. His fastball sits in the mid-to-upper 90s with 18” iVB from his over-the-top delivery. His slider is a sight to behold, hovering in the high 80s with decidedly gyro shape. It grades out as a plus-plus offering with the potential to be one of the best pitches in baseball. Brecht also wields a changeup, but it is both raw and rarely thrown. Brecht has the raw talent to be a special arm in the future, and any improvements to his command would skyrocket his status amongst pitching prospects. For now, his most likely outcome is a shutdown reliever with the upside being an electric front-end starter which earns him his encouraging future value grade.",2025-05-12 19:39:56,

He has a large frame ideal for a pitcher, and he wields a deep arsenal packed to the brim with exciting offerings. He tosses two distinct fastballs, a 4-Seam, which sits at 94-96 MPH and gets 15” iVB, and a sinker, which sits in the same velocity band but gets a lot more arm-side action. Despite his tall stature, Hopkins gets a deceptively low release point thanks to his low 3/4 release. This helps his fastballs, especially his 4-Seam, play up, similar to that of former farm mate Bryan Woo. Hopkins breaking balls are plus offerings, with both the curveball and slider sitting in the mid-to-high 80s. His slider acts more like a sweeper, exhibiting large glove-side movement with a bit of drop. His curveball is more like a “deathball” thanks to its velocity and minimal horizonal movement. His high 80s changeup is my favourite offering due to its massive vertical separation from his fastballs and absurd amount of run. The biggest knock-on Hopkins is his inability to consistently land pitches in the zone. He registered a 62% Strike% this season, which by no means is a poor number, but is not indicative of reliable command. With that being said, his stuff sets up a floor for a high-leverage reliever, with the potential of a mid-rotation arm if his command takes that next step.",2025-06-03 14:28:04,

Chandler was raising red flags earlier in 2024 despite the strong results, as he was up to 70% Fastball usage with his changeup essentially nowhere to be seen. Chandler started diversifying his arsenal and was rewarded with a promotion to AAA, where he continued to dominate. From an initial glance, Chandler seems to be cut from the same cloth as fellow Pirate Jared Jones. Both wield a similar 4-Pitch mix highlighted by a 4-Seam Fastball, which sits at 97 MPH and gets above-average vertical movement from a lower release. While Chandler’s slider may not be a whiff-inducing machine, his changeup has been the most encouraging development this season. The changeup sits 89-91 MPH with over 10” of vertical separation from his 4-Seam, and thanks to its running action, can get some nasty whiffs when located well. His delivery is on the aggressive side, which may limit him from making strides in the command department, but his athleticism should allow him to make the necessary adjustments to limit walks. Chandler projects to be a top of the rotation arm and should be up in Pittsburgh very soon.",2025-05-09 22:47,
