Welcome to Rates and barrels.

It is the Project Prospect episode Tuesday.

April 4th is the date.

Derek Riper here with Chris Welsh on this episode.

We're going to dig into a few recent debuts, players that have made their big league debuts since the start of this season.

The AAA schedule got underway just prior to the weekends.

We'll talk about a few early performances at

that level. We've also got other notable minor league assignments for some of the league's top

prospects. We'll get into those, as well as some changes that are coming to prospect lists as

players will be graduating in the very near future. So, Welsh, we begin today with some recent debuts, and I was trying to rank

them in order of impact, and this was pretty easy, actually, because one of them is still in

the big leagues, and the next two are not. We'll start with Bryce Terang, who had a grand slam

in the Brewer's home opener on Monday. Pretty fun moment for him.

He's been a burner.

The speed has been on full display in the early days of the season.

I think there were a lot of people, and I was among them, that wondered if he was even a lock to make the opening day roster.

And then even if he did, I think the expectation was given some of the right-handed

depth pieces on the bench that Terang would be on the big side of platoon. And then from a skills

perspective, power has been a question mark for Bryce Terang as a prospect, really until last season.

He popped 13 home runs in Nashville. He's always been young for the level,

but I was very skeptical of the power that we saw from him a year ago being something that might

carry over into his rookie season. I know it's only four games, but this is a really nice start
