For the first time since 2008, the Spokane Indians took home the Northwest League title after a back-and-forth Championship Series against the 2023 victors, the Vancouver Canadians. After three one-run games, Game 4 followed the same script. Knotted at 1 after nine innings, Vancouver struck first in the top of

In the words of Ferris Bueller, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” In the span of approximately 15 months, Davis has called his baseball home: Tucson, Ariz; Palm Beach, Fla.; Peoria, Ill., and now, Springfield, Mo. Five

College football season officially kicked off on Saturday, and at its Midwest epicenter in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the reigning national-champion Wolverines toppled Fresno State. Fifteen hundred miles away in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a pair of former Michigan athletes celebrated the victory and their own momentous occasion. Tommy Henry and Karl

For many, a debut professional season played with three teams in three different cities at three different levels would be overwhelming. For Quinn Mathews, it’s the Cardinal way. The 6-foot-5 lefty, who spent four years as part of the Stanford Cardinal, has shot up the St. Louis Cardinals' system since

This season, Indianapolis has been no stranger to fast-rising pitching prospects. Mere months after Paul Skenes' ascension from Indy ace to National League All-Star Game starter to potential Rookie of the Year, another Pirates top prospect was dominant in his Triple-A debut in the form of Bubba Chandler. The righty

It had been 442 days since Kumar Rocker last pitched in a game for a full-season affiliate. With a layoff of that length, any sort of comeback performance would be deemed an accomplishment. But on Friday night, the Rangers’ No. 3 prospect made a statement, striking out four batters in

Leo De Vries has perhaps never deserved his nickname of “El Mutante” more than on Friday night when he left the yard twice for the first multihomer game of his very young pro career. But that’s not where his otherworldly abilities end -- the 17-year-old homered from both the right

In a city full of pressing your luck, Jacob Wilson wasn't satisfied with hitting just his first Triple-A home run -- so he hit his second too, giving him his first multihomer game as a pro in one fell swoop. The top Athletics prospect lifted the Aviators to a 12-4

Six times every season, the Reno Aces hold a Home Run for Life game, presented by Donor Network West, to honor a Nevada community member who has been impacted by organ, eye and tissue donation. On Friday night, the event took on even more meaning as the club had an

Holidays and the traditions that surround them give a comforting predictability to our lives. Every time the calendar flips to a new month, small text or icons indicate the upcoming dates of note. After Saturday night’s unique feat, it would be no surprise if Tyler Fitzgerald had a circle around

They say it’s better to be a big fish in a small pond, but for the second time in the past two days, one of the top Marlins prospects joined a larger talent pool in the form of High-A Beloit. Noble Meyer, the organization’s top prospect, made his first start

On the first day of the NCAA Regionals last season, Virginia coasted to a 15-1 victory over Army thanks in part to a two-hit performance by Kyle Teel. Fast forward 364 days, and it’s clear that while a lot changes over the course of a year, some things stay the

Every collaboration has a thread that binds two entities or ideas together, and for one iteration of the MiLB x Music Capsule Collection, that theme might be No One’s Gonna Love the Charleston RiverDogs More Than Band of Horses Does. The Charleston-based rock band partnered with Official League on a

In his 11-year professional career, Chad Kuhl has pitched in 239 games, from the lower level of the Minors to the Majors. None of them held the same significance as his May 17 start for the Triple-A Charlotte Knights. Kuhl took the mound for Charlotte against Durham in a pink-sleeved

It’s typically the hare that comes up short against the tortoise in fables, but on Saturday night, neither the St. Lucie Mets nor the Bradenton Marauders stood a chance against a turtle. In the top of the second inning at LECOM Park, the Single-A St. Lucie (Mets) were at-bat with

Prior to Friday night, Joey Loperfido sat atop professional baseball’s home run leaderboard alongside three-time American League MVP Mike Trout, among others. Just a few hours and three big swings later, the 24-year-old slugger has sole possession of pole position with nine home runs for Triple-A Sugar Land. In Sugar

It’s January 2005, and David Price is on the cusp of his freshman season at Vanderbilt. But he’s also a few bad games away from quitting baseball and working at a local McDonald’s. “It was a January or February day. There was a big part of him that was going

A four-season title drought came to an end for Greenville on Tuesday after an undefeated playoff run. It was a back-and-forth affair in Game 2 of the South Atlantic Championship Series, but the High-A Red Sox affiliate strung together some big hits to defeat Hudson Valley, 7-3, to win the

It was a tale of two halves for Charleston this season. After finishing with the worst record in the Carolina League in the first half, Tampa Bay's Single-A affiliate rode a 39-26 record in the second half en route to its third consecutive league title. The RiverDogs defeated the Down

In the Major Leagues, grand slams occur approximately once in every 1,500 at-bats. This season, there's been one every 0.08 percent of at-bats. But for Pete Crow-Armstrong, the feat has not been so elusive, despite the fact that he typically leads off. MLB’s No. 12 prospect hit his third grand

Just like he made the adjustment to superior competition when transferring from mid-major Air Force to LSU, Paul Skenes appears to be doing the same at Double-A. In his second start since his promotion from Single-A, MLB’s No. 3 prospect threw two innings for Altoona, allowing only one hit while

Brooks Lee capped off his first calendar year in professional baseball with an exclamation point in the form of his first Triple-A home run. The Twins' No. 2 prospect joined St. Paul last Thursday nearly a year to the day after making his pro debut. On Friday, he launched a

How good was Gavin Stone on Friday night? In a word, unhittable. The No. 4 Dodgers prospect racked up 10 strikeouts over six hitless, scoreless innings in Oklahoma City’s 7-1 win over Round Rock. The 10 whiffs matched a season high set in May, while the six no-hit frames were

As the saying goes, Jackson Chourio is in mid-season form. Since appearing in the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game on July 8, the top Brewers prospect has collected multiple hits in six of his seven games. The latest was a three-hit game Friday that featured his 14th home run of the

The only thing that can apparently stop Jackson Chourio this month was his appearance in the Sirius/XM All-Star Futures Game. MLB Pipeline's No. 2 overall prospect went 3-for-5 with a home run and two doubles in Double-A Biloxi's 13-6 win over host Montgomery on Tuesday. It marked Chourio's second consecutive
