Los Angeles Angels pitching prospect Mason Albright has developed into a solid arm within the organization despite being a 12th-round pick.

Tampa Bay Rays pitching prospect Duncan Davitt joined the organization as an 18th-round pick in the 2022 draft.

Rays Use 19th Pick On Brayden Taylor

With the 19th pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, the Tampa Bay Rays selected shortstop Brayden Taylor. While the Rays sometimes use their draft picks in unorthodox ways, Taylor is far from a surprise.

Josh Stephan Strikes Out 10 In Perfect Outing

Texas Rangers pitching prospect Josh Stephan didn't hear his name called during the pandemic-shortened 2020 draft, but he was offered a contract by the club and chose to go pro rather than honor his commitment to Stephen F.

Colorado Rockies shortstop prospect Ryan Ritter found his way to the club in the fourth round of the 2022 MLB Draft.
