Jonah Tong – Mets (AA)
Tong (pictured above) was untouchable this week, setting down all 20 batters he faced and handling the lion’s share of the Double-A Binghamton Rumble Ponies’ first perfect game in franchise history. The 22-year-old right-hander threw 6.2 hitless innings for Double-A Binghamton, striking out 13 with zero walks. He has a 40:7 K-BB ratio in his past four outings, allowing just eight hits in his past 19 innings.
JR Ritchie – Braves (High-A)
Ritchie followed up last week’s stellar effort with another gem, tossing 9 scoreless innings while allowing just 1 hit and 1 walk. He dropped his season ERA to 1.30 with a 0.79 WHIP and has not allowed a run in any of his past three outings (21:2 K-BB ratio in 20.2 innings)
Eduardo Quintero – Dodgers (Single-A)
Quintero, only 19, stuffed the box score with power, patience, and speed. He went 9-for-24 with 3 homers, 5 RBIs, 3 steals, and drew 6 walks. His 1.375 OPS signals one of the most complete offensive performances of the week. He has 17 hits in his current 11-game hitting streak with four home runs and four stolen bases.
Kristian Robinson – Diamondbacks (AA)
Robinson looks healthy and dangerous. In limited at-bats, he still managed a 1.310 OPS with 2 homers, 5 RBIs, and 4 steals. Add in 6 walks and only 3 strikeouts, and you’ve got a well-rounded, high-upside week. Overall, he has a .292/.426/.594 triple slash with seven home runs and 10 stolen bases in 31 games.
Cole Carrigg – Rockies (AA)
Carrigg showcased elite versatility and patience, posting a 1.403 OPS while going deep three times. He added 4 RBIs, 2 stolen bases, and drew 5 walks against just 2 strikeouts—proving his polish and production are both trending up.
Adrian Pinto – Blue Jays (High-A)
Pinto exploded offensively with a 1.689 OPS, launching 3 home runs in just 15 at-bats. He also stole 2 bases and struck out only once. His blend of contact, pop, and speed is becoming harder to ignore in Toronto’s system.
Carson McCusker – Twins (AAA)
McCusker mashed this week for Triple-A St. Paul, slugging 3 home runs with 6 RBIs and 2 stolen bases. He went 9-for-23 with a 1.332 OPS. At 27, he’s showing he could be more than just minor league depth.
Mike Burrows – Pirates (AAA)
Burrows was sharp in two starts for Indianapolis, striking out 18 batters over 9.2 innings while allowing just 6 hits and 2 walks. His 0.93 ERA and 0.83 WHIP are even more impressive considering the level of competition.
Jacob Misiorowski – Brewers (AAA)
Misiorowski continues his march toward the big leagues with another dominant start: 6.2 shutout innings, 11 strikeouts, just 2 hits, and 1 walk. His fastball touched 102.3 mph, the hardest thrown by a major league or Triple-A starter this season.
Mitch Bratt – Rangers (AA)
Bratt rounds out the list with 6 scoreless innings, striking out 10 while allowing just one hit and a walk. The 21-year-old lefty’s 0.00 ERA and 0.33 WHIP point to a breakout stretch in Double-A.
