Atlanta Braves

Overview: Owen Carey already projects a sum-of-the-parts big leaguer at only age 19, with potential for 1 or 2 tools to tick up higher. Eric Hartman has that appealing power speed combo that could be even better if he elevates with regularity.

  • Owen Carey 1st (OF, 19)
  • Eric Hartman 1st (OF, 19)

Baltimore Orioles

Overview: Baltimore have a decent handfull of 1st chases. Wehiwa Eloy is a young shortstop with excellent raw power his ability to limit strikeouts will determine his path. Esteban Mejia is one for the risk takers with quite a high risk factor but one of the top ceilings in this release.

  • Travis Bazzana
  • CJ Kayfus RC

Colorado Rockies

  • Isaiah Jackson 1st (OF, 21)
  • Christian Moore RC
  • Mike Trout

Los Angeles Dodgers

Overview: Dodgers are always loaded and this is no different. Huge vet Autos & SSP chase with Brendan Tunink being the notable 1st chase. He can elevate nicely and has decent power when he pulls the ball. Swing and miss is an issue but for as raw as he was and still is he's come far.

  • Luis Arana 1st (SS, 18)
  • Luis Cova 1st (OF, 19)

  • Jacob Misiowroski RC
  • Handelfry Encarnacion 1st (CF, 18)

Chases

  • Dasan Hill 1st (P, 20)
  • Marek Houston 1st (SS, 22)

New York Mets

  • Anthony Fobrose 1st (SS, 18)
  • Johna Tong RC
  • Nolan McClean RC
  • Juan Soto

New York Yankees

Overview: Dillion Lewis shows great power and speed which is an appealing pair of skills. he will need to keep hitting to earn an outfield spot in the MLB.

  • T.J. Rumfield 1st (1B, 25)
  • Cam Schlittler RC
  • Aaron Judge

  • Anderson Araujo 1st (C, 18)
  • Moisés Chace 1st (P, 22)

Pittsburgh Pirates

Overview: One of the chase teams for the product hosting a Tier 1 1st chase and Konnor Griffin prospect cards. Edward Florentino is a hobby monster with serious power and the ability to steal bags, he is almost a lock to be a top 10 prospect by the time 2026 comes to an end.

Chases

  • Edward Florentino 1st (OF, 19)
  • Wyatt Sanford 1st (SS, 20)
  • Konnor Griffin
  • Bubba Chandler RC

San Diego Padres

Overview: Miguel Mendez will have a great arm for the Padres in the near future – two plus pitches. Fringy command at present, needs to tick up from that to remain a SP long-term. Jorge Quintana hasn’t shown much in his two pro seasons, but he still has a lot of raw tools, including power

Chases

  • Miguel Mendez 1st (RHP, 23)
  • Jorge Quintana 1st (SS, 20)
  • Tatis Jr

San Francisco Giants

Overview: weaker checklist with no real 1st chase but Bryce Eldridge RCs makes up for that a bit.

Chases

  • Bryce Eldridge RC
  • Jean Carlos Sio 1st (2B, 23)
  • Carlos Gutierrez 1st (OF, 21)

Seattle Mariners

Overview: Weak 1st checklist with no real notable chases. Vet and non 1st prospects make up most of the chase.

Chases

  • Kade Anderson
  • Ken Griffey Jr
  • J-Rod

St. Louis Cardinals

Overview: Daniel Ortiz has got decent pop and a surprising base stealing ability, his strong arm plays at 3B but maybe 1B for him as he's not a great defender.

Chases

  • Daniel Ortiz 1st (3B, 21)
  • JJ Wetherholt
  • Raniel Rodriguez

Tampa Bay Rays

  • Jose Urbina 1st (P, 20)
  • Carson Williams RC

Texas Rangers

  • David Davalillo 1st (RHP, 24)
  • Seong-Jun Kim 1st (RHP, 19)
  • Jack wheeler 1st (3B, 19)

Toronto Blue Jays

Overview: Blue Jays mix of 1st and RC chases make them a very appealing team. Big time power potential Juan Sanchez is already at Low A at 18 he can rise even higher quickly. While Trey Yesavage continues his fine form after a great 2025 post season and Japanese rookie Kazuma Okamoto is quickly finding his feet in the MLB.

Chases

  • Juan Sanchez 1st (3B, 18) TIER 2
  • Seojun Moon 1st (RHP, 18)
  • Blaine Bullard 1st (OF, 19)
  • Trey Yesavage RC

Chases

  • Coy James 1st (SS, 19)
  • Marconi German (SS, 18)
  • Eli Willits Anime
