Host · Writer
RP Edgardo Henriquez (Los Angeles Dodgers)
Edgardo Henriquez electrified the 2024 season with his blazing fastball, which touched 104 MPH on several occasions. With a 2.72 ERA and 14.9 K/9 over 53 innings, Henriquez showcased his ability to dominate in high-leverage situations. His .188 opponent batting average and ability to limit hard contact further solidify his potential as a future setup man or closer for the Los Angeles Dodgers. His triple-digit fastball makes him one of the most exciting fireballers in the minors, and his rise through the system has been swift.
SP Chase Dollander (Colorado Rockies)
Chase Dollander had a resurgent season in 2024, bouncing back to show his frontline starter potential. His 2.59 ERA and 12.9 strikeouts per nine innings speak to his dominance. The Rockies may have found their future ace in Dollander, whose mid-90s fastball and devastating slider make him a force on the mound.

SP Quinn Mathews (St. Louis Cardinals)
Quinn Mathews made history in 2024 by becoming the second minor league pitcher since 2011 to record over 200 strikeouts in a season. His dominance across all levels showcased his ability to miss bats and handle a large workload. Mathews' continued development could make him a future ace for the Cardinals.
Matt Wilkinson (Cleveland Guardians)
Matt Wilkinson's 2024 season with the Guardians organization was nothing short of remarkable. He posted a 1.90 ERA over 118.2 innings, striking out batters at an elite rate of 13.2 K/9 while maintaining a stingy 0.91 WHIP. Wilkinson's deceptive delivery and pinpoint command made him nearly unhittable, holding opponents to a .169 batting average. Despite his fastball sitting in the low 90s, Wilkinson’s ability to outthink hitters and keep them off-balance will make him a pitcher to watch as he rises through the Cleveland farm system.

SP Sean Sullivan (Colorado Rockies)
Sean Sullivan’s mastery of the strike zone defined his 2024 campaign. The Colorado Rockies prospect posted a 2.11 ERA and a WHIP under 1.00 over 115.1 innings. Sullivan’s impeccable control, as seen in his 125 strikeouts to just 15 walks, highlighted his ability to consistently dominate hitters. His cross-fire delivery adds deception to his high-80s fastball, which baffled batters throughout the year. Sullivan could soon be a reliable starter for the Rockies, with his pinpoint accuracy being his greatest asset.
SP Caden Dana (Los Angeles Angels)
Caden Dana quickly ascended through the Los Angeles Angels’ system in 2024, thanks to his impressive performances in Double-A. With a 2.52 ERA and 135.2 innings pitched, Dana displayed both endurance and effectiveness on the mound. His mid-90s fastball and strong frame give him a solid foundation, and he consistently delivered deep into games. Though his brief MLB stint in 2024 had its challenges, Dana remains one of the Angels’ top pitching prospects and is likely to secure a long-term role in their rotation.

SP Noah Schultz (Chicago White Sox)
Noah Schultz continued his rapid rise as one of the best left-handed pitching prospects in 2024. Despite throwing fewer innings than others, Schultz's 2.24 ERA and a .196 opponent batting average in Double-A solidified his status as a top-tier talent. His 6'9" frame and repeatable mechanics make his offerings difficult to square up, with batters struggling to make consistent contact. His elite command and ability to miss bats at such a young age make Schultz a future ace in the making for the White Sox.
RP Craig Yoho (Milwaukee Brewers)
Craig Yoho was untouchable in 2024, posting a microscopic 0.94 ERA over 57.2 innings. Yoho dominated hitters with a devastating changeup and slider combination, mimicking Milwaukee Brewers' closer Devin Williams' famous "Airbender" pitch. His 15.8 strikeouts per nine innings rank among the best in the minors, and his ability to generate whiffs without giving up a single home run all season makes him a future closer candidate for Milwaukee. Yoho’s dominance out of the bullpen makes him one of the most exciting relief arms to watch.
RP Grant Holman (Oakland Athletics)
Grant Holman was an overpowering force for the Oakland Athletics in 2024. With a minuscule 0.55 ERA across Double-A and Triple-A, Holman held opposing batters to a .154 average while overpowering hitters with his lively fastball from his imposing 6'6" frame. His command can be refined, but Holman’s ability to dominate in short stints makes him an intriguing bullpen piece for the Athletics moving forward. He’s a name to keep an eye on as he looks to carve out a role in the Oakland bullpen.
