5 pitching prospects yet to make their MLB debut who could be impact starters in 2026 (Thread🧵🪡)

Former 2nd round pick LuJames Groover out of NC State made a name for himself in the D-Backs system. Across 123 games in AA last year he slashed .309/.399/.434 with 12 HRs and a 14% K%/12% BB%. He has elite plate discipline and power upside. Could be a good piece for the future

Jalen Beeks could be a great budget bullpen option for any team. Made 61 appearances for ARI last year tossing to a 3.77 ERA. Does a good job keeping the ball on the ground and getting whiffs. The CH especially was elite as it got a 35% Whiff% and .112 wOBA against it

WSN RHP Eddy Yean The 24 year old reliever was signed out of the Pirates system this offseason. He posted a 3.06 ERA across 70.2 IP in AAA last year with less then 1 HR/9. He mixes his pitches a lot to generate weak contact and keep hitters off balance

ATL RHP Rolddy Munoz Munoz made his debut last year tossing 3.2 innings and generated a lot of whiffs. He has a heavy armside sinker at 95-96 that leads to a lot of GBs then a sharp gyro SL off it. He gets GBs and has the stuff to gets K's as well. Should get a shot this year

MIA RHP Josh White White is just 25 and was dominate in AAA. He posted a 2.29 ERA across 39.1 IP with a 13.03 K/9 and 2.52 BB/9. He has a cut ride FB and a sharp SL off it. High whiff upside and has avoided walk problems as well. Will for sure see big league time this year

NYM RHP Dylan Ross The 6'5 25 y/o was electric in AAA last year as he posted a 1.69 ERA with 10.97 K/9 and 0.28 HR/9 across 32.0 IP. He has some walk issues but his splitter is a gross pitch with unpredictable movement. With his whiff upside the potential is through the roof

PHI RHP Zach McCambley Philly added the 26 y/o through the Rule 5 Draft this year from MIA. He had a very good year in AAA last year with a 3.32 ERA and 11.51 K/9 across 40.2 IP. The righty has a cut FB to pair with a true cutter then a big sweeping SL. Has major whiff upside

One underrated reliever option for every team heading into 2026 who could play a major impact NL East edition (Thread🧵🪡)

Trade is now official by the way!

Marcell Ozuna makes so munch sense to potentially be a cheap option at the DH spot Still hit 21 HRs last year with elite plate discipline and overall a 114 wRC+ Could be a perfect fit to add even more offense in Pittsburgh

The last piece is OF Austin Overn who has done nothing but hit in the minors. High K guy but has elite speed, high walk numbers, and 15-20 HR upside as well on top of that. 2025 stats: 114 games .249/.355/.399 13 HRs 64 SBs 27% K%/13% BB% .357 wOBA 123 wRC+

TB also added RHP Michael Forret who flew up prospect rankings after a dominate 2025. He features 2 FBs, a 4S and 2S then plays off that with a sharp SL and a bigger SW, and adds in a SPL. Deep arsenal with heavy upside 2025 stats: 74 IP 1.58 ERA 2.37 FIP 11.07 K/9 2.55 BB/9

The next guy the Rays got is another 2025 first round pick being former Coastal Carolina C in Caden Bodine. Bodine is an elite defensive catcher but has upside as a high on base/2Bs guy 2025 college stats: 67 games .318/.454/.461 5 HRs 18 2Bs 20% Barrel% 8% K%/15% BB% .402 wOBA

The first guy the Rays got was 2025 37th overall pick high school OF Slater de Brun. He has yet to make his pro debut but the 5'10 OF is thought to have an elite run tool and a guy who can stick in CF. He slots in at number 6 in the Rays system.

Orioles add much needed SP depth with the 26 y/o Shane Baz. 2025 was his first healthy season and he threw 166.1 innings with a 4.87 ERA. However the advanced stats liked him with a 4.37 FIP and 3.88 xFIP. The FB/CB combo generated a lot of whiffs and the upside is still high
