Top prospects such as Colt Keith, Matt Mervis, Coby Mayo, Austin Shenton, Robert Gasser, and Gavin Stone patiently await the call to the big leagues.

Some notable recent performances include Chicago Cubs outfielder Christopher Morel. The 24-year-old has hit three home runs and collected six RBI with a .943 OPS over his last seven contests.
