Orioles shortstop Jackson Holliday with two more hits today.

He was playing high school baseball last year.
The Padres getting 17-year-old Fernando Tatis Jr. from the White Sox for James Shields before Tatis ever played an official pro game is an incredible trade.
Three and a half hours before a doubleheader today, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is out here on the field putting in work on his defense with four Blue Jays coaches.
The Cincinnati Reds have signed SS/CF Sheng-En Lin from Taiwan for $1.2 million.
70 runner, good mix of hit and power from the left side. Signing as a position player, but huge arm strength (up to 99 mph on the mound) as a two-way player in high school.
After trading for more international bonus pool space, the Yankees today signed Osiel Rodriguez for $600,000, as

BA’s full top 100 high school prospects for the 2020 MLB draft:
Leodalis De Vries is my favorite international prospect for this year.
When I went to the Dominican Republic, I saw him play the first day of a tournament, then we spoke after the game and he told me he was going to hit a home run tomorrow.
Well, the next day, second at-bat:…
Saw shortstop Fernando Cruz, one of the top players for the upcoming international signing period, in the Dominican Republic. A cousin of Starlin Castro. Eligible to sign on Jan. 15, 2024.
I love this Detroit Tigers draft so far. Kevin McGonigle is one of the best hitters in the country and they get him at No. 37 overall. He's better than a lot of the players who went ahead of him.
The top four prospects in baseball have something in common.
1. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. 🇩🇴
2. Fernando Tatis Jr. 🇩🇴
3. Eloy Jimenez 🇩🇴
4. Wander Franco 🇩🇴

As a 23-year-old in Triple-A, he's hitting .287/.355/.544 in 34 games. He's the No. 1 player…
One of my favorite pitchers in the 2023 draft: RHP Josh Knoth (NY).
Fastball up to 98 mph, a pair of sharp breaking balls he can spin above 3,000 rpm, threw a 19-strikeout perfect game this spring, will still be 17 on draft day.
Chicago Cubs signing more players from the Dominican Republic (L to R) today:
