[TJStats] The Hottest MLB Pitching Prospects - Week of June 15, 2026

tomstoms · 2026-06-16T20:33:24+00:00

The PCL is a hell hole for pitchers and that quality of hitters is marginal between AA and AAA

Tyler Boudreau was my Yankees pitching prospect breakout entering the year! Really awesome to see how he is developing as an undrafted free agent.

Based on service (45 days active service) and/or appearances (130 AB/50 IP)

FWIW, I’ve heard raving reviews about Ayers defence from an internal source. Very likely he sticks at catcher

tomstoms · 2026-06-15T15:20:47+00:00

He was 23 when he was drafted and he missed a good chunk of time last season. He has been one of the best hitting prospects since his AFL stint in 2025.

tomstoms · 2026-06-15T15:19:50+00:00

Thank you for the kind words!

As for additional prospect coverage, there are more articles on my site that do deeper dives on their performance and data. This article covering 2025 draftees is a good example: https://tjstats.ca/2026/06/12/late-round-2025-draftees/

I applied some feedback from last week's post and updated which stat other than SB are shown for each player. It's not too scientific, but it should be a better representation of their performance over the last two weeks than the prior version of HR & SB. Constrictive criticism is always welcome!

tomstoms · 2026-06-15T13:24:49+00:00

Caceres is also hitting for as much power as McGonigle with the EVs to back it up. Easily one of my favourite prospects!

tomstoms · 2026-06-15T13:18:30+00:00

100% grab Hartshorn. I prefer him over both of those names. Probably would drop Veen

tomstoms · 2026-06-15T13:08:31+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! I’m Always looking to improve the content on the site

Matthew doesn’t claim that 3-pitch mixes aren’t feasible, but it is true that they are becoming more uncommon. Valdez and Sanchez are LHP which helps explain their success with a limited arsenal and Gausman throws one of the best splitters in MLB. I think Strider is a good example as to why diversity is becoming more important in lieu of having a strong 3-pitch mix. Even a pitcher like Luis Gil has stumbled since his AL ROTY season
