Prior to Friday night, Joey Loperfido sat atop professional baseball’s home run leaderboard alongside three-time American League MVP Mike Trout, among others. Just a few hours and three big swings later, the 24-year-old slugger has sole possession of pole position with nine home runs for Triple-A Sugar Land. In Sugar

It’s January 2005, and David Price is on the cusp of his freshman season at Vanderbilt. But he’s also a few bad games away from quitting baseball and working at a local McDonald’s. “It was a January or February day. There was a big part of him that was going

A four-season title drought came to an end for Greenville on Tuesday after an undefeated playoff run. It was a back-and-forth affair in Game 2 of the South Atlantic Championship Series, but the High-A Red Sox affiliate strung together some big hits to defeat Hudson Valley, 7-3, to win the

It was a tale of two halves for Charleston this season. After finishing with the worst record in the Carolina League in the first half, Tampa Bay's Single-A affiliate rode a 39-26 record in the second half en route to its third consecutive league title. The RiverDogs defeated the Down

In the Major Leagues, grand slams occur approximately once in every 1,500 at-bats. This season, there's been one every 0.08 percent of at-bats. But for Pete Crow-Armstrong, the feat has not been so elusive, despite the fact that he typically leads off. MLB’s No. 12 prospect hit his third grand

Just like he made the adjustment to superior competition when transferring from mid-major Air Force to LSU, Paul Skenes appears to be doing the same at Double-A. In his second start since his promotion from Single-A, MLB’s No. 3 prospect threw two innings for Altoona, allowing only one hit while

Brooks Lee capped off his first calendar year in professional baseball with an exclamation point in the form of his first Triple-A home run. The Twins' No. 2 prospect joined St. Paul last Thursday nearly a year to the day after making his pro debut. On Friday, he launched a

How good was Gavin Stone on Friday night? In a word, unhittable. The No. 4 Dodgers prospect racked up 10 strikeouts over six hitless, scoreless innings in Oklahoma City’s 7-1 win over Round Rock. The 10 whiffs matched a season high set in May, while the six no-hit frames were

As the saying goes, Jackson Chourio is in mid-season form. Since appearing in the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game on July 8, the top Brewers prospect has collected multiple hits in six of his seven games. The latest was a three-hit game Friday that featured his 14th home run of the

The only thing that can apparently stop Jackson Chourio this month was his appearance in the Sirius/XM All-Star Futures Game. MLB Pipeline's No. 2 overall prospect went 3-for-5 with a home run and two doubles in Double-A Biloxi's 13-6 win over host Montgomery on Tuesday. It marked Chourio's second consecutive

For Mets prospect Luke Ritter, home runs have been like clockwork. He has hit 11 in his last 15 games for Double-A Binghamton, culminating in a three-dinger performance in Sunday’s 8-6 win over the Reading Fightin Phils. These particular home runs were hit in counter-clockwise fashion. He kicked off his

Adael Amador cannot be stopped. The No. 2 Rockies prospect put on a show Saturday, hitting three home runs in five at-bats in a 13-5 Spokane victory over Everett. These home runs -- his sixth, seventh and eighth of the season -- came on the heels of a two-hit night,

Double-A Chattanooga is on a roll, and there’s no surprise that Noelvi Marte is at the center of it all. On Friday night, the Lookouts extended their win streak to four games with a 6-4 victory over the Biloxi Shuckers. Marte, the MLB's No. 23 overall prospect, went deep twice

Chandler Redmond mashed a homer Sunday that belonged not in, but over a museum. The Double-A Springfield infielder's fourth-inning blast traveled an estimated 485 feet, flying over the Wichita Baseball Museum beyond right field and careening off the administrative building beyond Riverfront Stadium. At the Major League level, only the
