He has tossed two complete games and has one shutout. More impressive, batters are managing to hit only. Since his promotion to Brevard County, Thornburg has been amazing, allowing only 10 hits in 16 innings, while striking out Last but not least is the little engine that could, Brad Peacock Washington.
The only other National to compete in this event aside from Bryce Harper, Peacock has gained little positive attention from his all-out amazing performance this season. He's already locked down 10wins and has one of the best ERA's in the minors, at 2. He's also racked up strikeouts to just 23 walks in just Batters are hitting an astonishing. It's hard to pick a "best" outing for Peacock, but it's hard to do better than his seven-inning, strikeout five-hitter on May 13th.
Teheran exploded onto the scene last year, jumping from Low-A to Double-A in just 17 starts. He finished the season with a record, a 2. This year, as hard as it is to believe, he's gotten better. His ERA of 1. Teheran has produced less strikeouts this season, but he's also gone deeper into games.
His last two outings of just five-innings a piece were his shortest since early May. He also made two big-league outings, the first of his career, earlier in the year, although the results were much worse than his minor league domination.
Martinez has been a revelation this year, carrying over the momentum from his stellar run in the Dominican Summer League last year. Pitching in full-season ball definitely agrees with the year-old, who posted a 2.
Martinez has been kept on a short leash, and as such, has only thrown He's only given up 36 hits and surrendered only one home run.
Joining Teheran and Martinez on the World squad is one of the breakout stars of the season, Henderson Alvarez Toronto. I've heard nothing but excellent reports on Alvarez, who has only pitched They've all been very good innings, as the right-hander from Venezuela has posted a K:BB ratio and a 3.
Herrera has made 26 appearances this season for Double-A Northwest Arkansas, and he's only allowed 28 hits in He's struck out 48 batters and walked only five during that span, and his ERA currently sits at a microscopic 1.
One of the others is Gregory Infante Chicago A. Infante started for four years in the minors but finally switched to relieving before the season. Something clicked, and within one incredible season, Infante was pitching in the big leagues.
He began his season in Double-A with And the third and final reliever is Jhan Marinez Florida , a hard-throwing right-hander who has already made 34 appearances for Double-A Jacksonville. He's put together a pretty solid season, posting a 4. Marinez saw some time in the big leagues late last season and could get another call-up this September.
Liam Hendricks Minnesota is another pitcher who is in the midst of a career year. He's already tied a career-high with eight victories and his 2. He also ranks in the top in both strikeouts 81 and innings pitched Like his Twins counterpart Kyle Gibson, Hendricks is a prolific strike-thrower. He's only issued 18 walks this season, and believe it or not, that's actually the highest single-season total of his entire career.
Last but not least is Arodys Vizcaino Atlanta. Vizcaino usually checks in behind Randall Delgado on the Braves prospect rankings, but it is he, and not Delgado, who is making the trip to Arizona this weekend.
Vizcaino earned a midseason promotion to Double-A after a strong start at High-A Lynchburg, where he posted a 2. So far in Double-A, he has struck out 46 batters in Team USA has three of the top left-handed pitchers in baseball, including one who just might be the top pitcher in all of the minor leagues.
That pitcher in question would be Matt Moore Tampa Bay , another rising star in a loaded Rays system. Moore has led the minor leagues in strikeouts each of the past two seasons, and with more this year, in just This year has been more about pitching to contact for Moore, and he's improved his off-speed stuff dramatically.
His stuff is so wicked that he's only allowed 61 hits all season long, and his ERA of 2. Tyler Skaggs Arizona is going to get a lot of love at the Futures Game because he's a Diamondback farmhand but don't fool yourself into thinking he doesn't deserve to be there. Skaggs has been one of the most impressive pitchers in baseball this season, and he's practically a shoe-in to be named Arizona's Minor League Pitcher of the Year, which is saying something because they've had a ton of pitchers perform at their very best this season.
Skaggs has a ridiculous strikeouts in Pomeranz is getting his first taste of pro ball this year and has responded nicely so far.
He's also whiffed 95 batters in just 77 innings. More impressive, he's only surrendered two home runs the entire year. Despite his dominance, Pomeranz has just three wins to his name, and somehow, despite posting a 1.
The World squad only has two lefties on their roster, but one of them is arguably the second-best lefty behind Matt Moore. That would be Martin Perez Texas , who despite his mediocre performances the past two seasons has maintained his place among the top prospects in the game thanks to his incredible stuff. This year, he's starting to put forth some better results, including a 3. Perez was especially strong during May, posting an ERA under 1. The other lefty is James Paxton Seattle , who as a Canadian, defines the term "international" a bit loosely.
Paxton was selected by the Mariners in the fourth round of last year's draft, but the lefty didn't sign until early March of , giving him a late start on the season. Solid defender with a good arm, packs considerable punch at the plate but strike zone judgment is substandard and could hold him back against better pitching. Age 20, turns 21 later this month. Cuban defector. Pure hitter with plate discipline and power, ready for the majors but has no place to play in Cincinnati yet.
Features above-average power and improved defense at third base, but excessive strikeout rate leads to worries about batting average and OBP. Scouts like his raw power and strong throwing arm, but he's error-prone with the glove and hasn't fully blossomed with the bat yet. Strong physical tools in all respects, but has been young for his levels and performance has been spotty at times.
Mediocre plate discipline and too many errors, but has good bat speed, power potential, strong throwing arm. Hit a stunning. A very reliable defender as well, has good tools to go with the numbers. Ji-Man Choi. Carlos Contreras. Francisco Cordero.

Hit 20 homers in the Cal League last year but has been more of a line drive type this year in tougher environment.
Defense needs more polish as well. The former outfielder has made steady improvements with the glove, and his bat is quite special, with good power and strong plate discipline. Very strong defensive skills with above-average power and good plate discipline, very advanced for age Blazing speed, hits for a high average with gap power, excellent defensive outfielder.
Just promoted to Double-A. Harper could be the best prospect of the last 40 years and ranks with historical phenoms like Ken Griffey, Jr. Outstanding power, strong plate discipline, excellent baserunner with good speed, strong throwing arm, amazing polish for just 18 years old.
Converted catcher is adapting to right field but has been slowed somewhat by injuries this spring.
