Pittsburgh Pirates Breakout Prospect Candidate: Jared Jones

Pittsburgh Pirates drafted Jared Jones with the 44th overall pick in the 2020 MBL Draft. He played for High-A Greensboro Grasshoppers in 2022. In 26 starts, he pitched 122.1 innings with a 4.62 ERA and a.85 FIP. His control is a big question mark, but he has a good strikeout rate and good fastball, slider, curveball and changeup. Jones will turn 22 in August. After finishing the 2022 season, Jones could be in line for a breakout campaign in 2023 with Double-AA Altoona.

Colorado Rockies prospects: No. 19, Jaden Hill

Hill's ceiling as a pitcher has consistently gotten him attention from scouts as a potential top of rotation starter. At his best, the 24-year-old throws an upper-90s fastball graded in the 60-65 range, a plus changeup graded in the 60-70 range, a potentially above-average slider, and decent control. Of course there's a reason he's not in the top…
