The 21 players making scouts take notice in spring training
Nobody should make lasting judgments over spring performances. But these 21 prospects and young big leaguers are making scouts take notice with big springs.
1. Jac Caglianone, Royals: The former two-way star at the University of Florida and 2024 draftee, now exclusively a first baseman, is killing it. “Caglianone and Bobby Witt will be cornerstone players there for years,” says a scout.
2. Matt Shaw, Cubs: Chicago’s top prospect “can really hit,” according to one scout. There’s still a question if he can play third base, but he’s a keeper.
3. Junior Caminero, Rays: Tampa Bay got a steal in trade from the Guardians, who are another of the smartest teams. Maybe not quite a Fernando Tatis Jr. loss, but oops.
