Welcome to the Rotowire Prospect podcast. I'm your host James Anderson, and we're brought to you by

fan tracks, as always. Got my good buddy, Jeff Ponce from Baseball America here. And we're just going to

talk about prospects who have really been making waves in the spring. Some of these guys are going to

break camp with their big clubs. Some of them will not. And Jeff's seen a lot of these guys are going to break camp with their big clubs.

Some of them will not.

And Jeff's seen a lot of these guys in person. So it's going to be a lot of fun to kind of pick his brain.

But Jeff, let's just start with Wyatt Langford here.

You haven't seen him in person.

But like, where are we talking historically here here i've told people this is the most

impressive uh kind of from the moment a guy was drafted from college like fast forward to that first

spring training i've never seen a college hitter uh perform the way langford has uh where does

he kind of stand like historically just in terms of best pro debuts of a hitter that you can recall

yeah and you know he kind of falls into a funny category where he's kind of always been so good that i'll never really get that he's really got to do that he's kind of always been so good that I'll never really get an opportunity

to see him like yeah to see him in an SEC game like because he's not an ACC guy right and that's

what I have in Boston College locally to me so that's what I see he was was too good to be on the Cape at any point in time.

Like he was already a collegiate national team guy. And his teams always made really long runs in

college. And then, you know, it was drafted by a West Coast-ish, if you want to say that,

team that doesn't have affiliates around me.

So he was just the guy that I was never going to see.

And he moved so quickly that it's not like I can even take a trip to go in to see him.

So he's also an Arizona-based spring training team.

Wasn't an Arizona fall league.
