Greetings and salations, everyone, is Rich Wilson.

Today is the 27th of June, about 10.50 in the morning.

I'm going to do a special broadcast here as the futures game rosters have just been announced.

So this we are just prospect podcast.

Let's start with the American League.

If you are interested, most of these guys I have written about on our Patreon site,

P-A-T-R-E-O-N.com forward slash prospect 361.

So these are all, most of these are elite prospects, but most of them are very close to making

their big league debut.

And this many times it's just their kind of final step before we see them.

Some of the guys I'll talk about are going to be relievers and you'll probably see them

sooner rather than later.

Clayton Beater is the first guy. We'll go American League first here. He's a right-hand pitcher. I saw him a couple of weeks ago. At Somerset, he's now in AAA. You know, I think he's just okay. He was the return for Joey Gallo, so good on the Yankees for getting something back for Joey Gallo when he was just a zero for them last season.

Yeah, he's okay. Mid-rotation made, probably more of a number four started.

Stuff's just okay. But he's a Yankee, so he's hyped while. He's had a good season this year.

He's pitching, the stat line looks better than the stuff, but I do like the

player. Jonathan Cannon just wrote about him last week. Six-foot-six kid from the White

Sox. He is in high A. Six-06. He's only 213 pounds. So he's kind of a, not a thin guy, but more of a lanky type of pitcher.

He's got an above average arsenal. This delivery suggests he should have good control.

I give him as a number four, number three kind of starter. Interesting guy, but do I trust the

white socks to develop their pitchers?

I mean, they've been pretty spotty.
