Draft fever.... catch it! (Guest: Grady Emerson)

With the brand new Draft Top 150 dropping at the end of this week, it's clear the Pipeline Podcast crew has a serious case of Draft fever. Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff kick off this episode by looking at the four quadrants of the class -- college hitters and pitchers, high school bats and arms -- putting a grade on and talking about some intriguing guys in each sector. After the weekly Roch Watch, Grady Emerson, one of the top overall players in the class, joins the show. The guys still have energy for the Minor League guys, and plenty of time is devoted to prospects who just got called up to the big leagues (like last week's guest, Travis Bazzana) as well as new additions to the Top 100 (Logan Henderson and Kevin Defrank) before answering a Mailbag question about the future of the Brewers infield.

Gearing Up For The Draft Top 150 (Guest: Travis Bazzana)

MLB Pipeline will release an expanded and updated Draft Top 150 Prospects list next week, so the latest Pipeline Podcast previews some of the biggest risers this spring. Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff chat about Mississippi high school outfielder Eric Booth, UCLA right-hander Logan Reddemann and California prep two-way star Jared Grindlinger, among others, and also update the weekly Roch Watch. Guardians second baseman Travis Bazzana, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 Draft, joins the guys and cements his status as one of the best Pipeline Podcast guests ever during a wide-ranging interview. There's also discussion of new Top 100 Prospects additions River Ryan (Dodgers) and Roldy Brito (Rockies), the latest Prospect Team of the Week and a Draft question from the listener mailbag.

"The Next Randy Johnson" arrives!

We're always on the lookout for the next big prospect callup, but never has one been this big! Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff kick off this week's Pipeline Podcast with a breakdown of the 6-foot-10 Noah Schultz, the lefty who was called up to make his big league debut on Tuesday, with his size and swing-and-miss stuff drawing comparisons to the Big Unit. Schultz serves as a jumping off point to talk about which Top 100 prospects could be next to get the call, from fellow White Sox lefty Hagen Smith to Tigers outfielder Max Clark. From there, the guys shift attention to the Draft, with Jason having seen Roch Cholowsky in person during UCLA's matchup at Rutgers last weekend. The talk of that Friday night game was RHP Logan Reddemann and his 18-strikeout performance, and he was among the college arms moving into first-round consideration discussed on the pod. Talk returned to the Minors, discussing two newcomers to the Top 100 and our first Prospect Team of the Week before answering a question from the Mailbag. Learn more about your ad choices.

Let's talk Draft!

With all of the Minor Leagues underway, Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff can finally take a minute to talk about the 2026 Draft. For the first time this spring, they go beyond their weekly Roch Watch, detailing how top Draft prospect Roch Cholowsky is faring, with Jim and Jonathan plotting out how they think the top 11 picks should go in the first round. The guys then return to the Minors by examining the affiliates with the most prospect-laded rosters and breaking down the seven new additions to the Top 100 list. They finish things off by discussing rookies off to rough starts before answering a Draft-related question in the Mailbag. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Raking Rookies . . . And Who's Next (Guest: Caleb Bonemer)

Rookies are taking MLB by storm and dominating discussion on the latest Pipeline Podcast. Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff kick off the latest edition by breaking down the hot starts by Kevin McGonigle (Tigers), JJ Wetherholt (Cardinals), Sal Stewart (Reds) and Chase DeLauter (Guardians), among others. After an interview with White Sox shortstop prospect Caleb Bonemer, talk turns to when exactly the next wave of top talents could arrive in the Majors, starting with Konnor Griffin (Pirates). Griffin also comes up under the subject of prospects signing long-term contracts before making their big league debuts, which Cooper Pratt (Brewers) and Colt Emerson (Mariners) did this week. After the weekly Roch Watch, the guys field a mailbag question about which Draft prospects have boosted their stock the most so far this year. Learn more about your ad choices.

From Breakout to Opening Day (Guest: Tyler Bremner)

Fresh off of their Spring Training travels, capped off by seeing as many Spring Breakout games as possible, Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff look back and ahead in this week's MLB Pipeline Podcast. They kick things off by reviewing some of the best moments and performances from the third Spring Breakout, including Pirates phenom Seth Hernandez hitting 102.4 mph, Mariners right-hander Ryan Sloan tossing three perfect innings and Padres catcher Ethan Salas serving notice he's ready to jump back on the prospect scene. Then Jim sits down with Angels top prospect Tyler Bremner to talk about his Draft experience and getting ready for his first full season before the guys look ahead to Opening Day and where the Top 100 prospects are starting, including 20 making big league rosters. After a quick RochWatch -- the weekly update on top Draft prospect Roch Cholowsky -- they close things out with a Mailbag question about high school talent in this year's Draft class.

Breakout Breakdown (Guest: Seth Hernandez)

With 16 Spring Breakout games scheduled for the next four days, there's no doubt what Jim Callis, Sam Dykstra and Jonathan Mayo would talk about on the latest Pipeline Podcast. From sites around the Cactus and Grapefruit Leagues, they discussed the best players and matchups in the various prospect showdowns, including baseball's top prospect Konnor Griffin and the Pirates clashing with Max Clark and the Tigers, and star shortstops Jesus Made and Leo De Vries squaring off when the Brewers face the Athletics. Jonathan interviewed Pirates right-hander Seth Hernandez, the sixth overall pick in the 2025 Draft and another Breakout participant. After all that Breakout talk, the guys also found time for another installment of Roch Watch and a question from the listener mailbag. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Spring in our steps (Guest: Kade Anderson)

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. Learn more about your ad choices.
