6. Kendry Rojas, LHP – Toronto Blue Jays (Double-A)
Stat Line: 1 GS, 5 IP, 10 K, 0 BB, 0.00 ERA

After a solid rehab start the previous week, Kendry Rojas was back at full strength — and dominant. In five innings for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, the left-hander struck out 10 and didn’t allow a single walk.

With a clean bill of health and top-tier command, Rojas is poised for a strong finish to the season. He was already ranked in the Toronto Blue Jays' preseason Top 15 and may push for a Top 100 spot in the next update.

1. Samuel Basallo, C – Baltimore Orioles (Triple-A)
Stat Line: 5 G, 18 AB, 7 H, 3 HR, 10 RBI, 1.556 OPS

The Baltimore Orioles' No. 9 prospect, Samuel Basallo, continues to mash in Triple-A. The power-hitting catcher led the International League in OPS this past week, launching three home runs and driving in 10 runs over just five games. His 1.556 OPS stands as one of the best weekly marks we’ve seen in the minors this season.

As the trade deadline looms, Basallo’s stock is soaring — whether for a future in Baltimore or as a coveted trade chip. If he keeps this up, he may be in Camden Yards sooner rather than later.

2. Francisco Alvarez, C – New York Mets (Triple-A)
Stat Line: 6 G, 23 AB, 8 H, 6 HR, 10 RBI, 1.380 OPS

After a tough first half with the New York Mets, Francisco Alvarez went back to Triple-A and made an immediate statement. Alvarez homered six times last week, the highest weekly total in our tracking history, and racked up 10 RBIs in the process.

His 1.380 OPS over six games is a clear sign he’s rediscovered his rhythm. Alvarez’s power surge could fast-track his return to Citi Field as the Mets eye a second-half playoff run.

3. Nolan McLean, RHP – New York Mets (Triple-A)
Stat Line: 1 GS, 6 IP, 10 K, 3 BB, 0.00 ERA

New York Mets pitching prospect Nolan McLean dazzled in his lone start last week, striking out 10 batters across six shutout innings. This marks his second 10-strikeout effort in July, adding to an impressive month for the right-hander.

McLean, once a two-way prospect, has transitioned seamlessly into a full-time starter and currently ranks No. 37 in our Top 100. He’s knocking on the big-league door with performances like this.

4. Jett Williams, SS – New York Mets (Double-A)
Stat Line: 6 G, 26 AB, 10 H, 2 HR, 5 RBI, 1.217 OPS

Jett Williams keeps climbing the New York Mets’ prospect ladder. The 2022 first-rounder has transitioned smoothly to Double-A, tallying 10 hits and a pair of homers over six games last week while maintaining a 1.217 OPS.

He’s doing damage without relying solely on home runs — showcasing gap power, on-base skills, and speed. Ranked No. 42 on our Top 100, Williams is trending up fast.
5. Sam Brown, 1B – Los Angeles Angels (Double-A)
Stat Line: 5 G, 18 AB, 8 H, 1 HR, 6 RBI, 1.398 OPS

Sam Brown broke out in a big way last week. The Los Angeles Angels’ Double-A first baseman delivered eight hits and a 1.398 OPS across five games — one of the Southern League’s best weekly showings.

After a quiet start to his pro career, Brown is now flashing the offensive tools that made him a top college bat. His OPS jumped over 60 points in one week.
6. Kendry Rojas, LHP – Toronto Blue Jays (Double-A)
Stat Line: 1 GS, 5 IP, 10 K, 0 BB, 0.00 ERA

After a solid rehab start the previous week, Kendry Rojas was back at full strength — and dominant. In five innings for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, the left-hander struck out 10 and didn’t allow a single walk.

With a clean bill of health and top-tier command, Rojas is poised for a strong finish to the season. He was already ranked in the Toronto Blue Jays' preseason Top 15 and may push for a Top 100 spot in the next update.
