Ben and Carlos talk about the strides that Brewers righthander Jacob Misiorowski is making with his strike-throwing in the early parts of the 2025 season. The two move onto a number of up-arrow Blue Jays prospects, including recent first rounders shortstop Arjun Nimmala and righthander Trey Yesavage. After that the two dig into a mixed bag for the Rays, with good starts from 1B Xavier Isaac, OF Theo Gillen and others but some lingering questions with SS Carson Williams and INF Brayden Taylor.

Ben and Carlos talk through Baseball America’s May Top 100 prospect update. Why we should be excited for the elite tier of shortstops in the class. Why Bubba chandler and Chase Burns have been so dominant. Jac Caglianone’s improved swing decisions and a surface level line that is impressive but perhaps not even showing how good he’s been. Questions about Konnor Griffin and Ethan Salas. CJ Kayfus as an elite batted ball angle hitter. Jurrangelo Cijntje’s usage as a switch pitcher. And plenty more.
