MLB Pipeline

Spring is definitely in the air at MLB Pipeline and Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff are here for all of it for this week's Pipeline Podcast. Spring Breakout is less than two weeks away and the guys are giddy with excitement, talking about some of the prospects they can't wait to see. Both Jim and Jonathan are in Spring Training, and Jim was able to talk to Mariners lefty Kade Anderson, the No. 3 overall pick in last year's Draft. Then talk turned to the recently-released farm system rankings, with a focus on the top three teams -- the Brewers, Dodgers and Pirates -- before shifting to looking at the World Baseball Classic through a prospect lens. The pod closed, as it always does, with a Mailbag question, this time about off-the-radar prospects who could be Top 100 guys a year from now.

From there, the guys take a look at hitting and pitching standouts over the first two weeks in the college game, including the weekly "Roch Watch" about top Draft prospect Roch Cholowsky.

Jim Callis and Jonathan Mayo celebrate the beginning of the college season and the opening of Spring Training on the latest Pipeline Podcast. They begin by checking in on how top college prospects performed during the first weekend, including UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky (the projected No. 1 overall pick), Texas A&M outfielder Caden Sorrell and UC Santa Barbara right-hander Jackson Flora. They also stack up all-prospect teams of the best college and high school players in the 2026 Draft and see how they compare. Then they shift gears and discuss some of the biggest prospect news in Spring Training, such as Yankees righty Carlos Lagrange throwing 103-mph heat past Aaron Judge and Mariners infielder Colt Emerson's efforts to squeeze into the lineup of the defending American League West champions. As always, the guys conclude with a question from the listener mailbag, this time trying to determine which phenom they'll talk about the most on the podcast this year.
