A Top-100 prospect has made it to majors in a strange 2020 season even though he has very little time at AA, but here is Clarke Schmidt. A top 100 guy for my 100th player profile!

John King, RHP, TEX
Jumping all the way from High-A to the majors in this shortened season, let’s see how John King got to the Rangers.
Antonio Santos, RHP, COL
After never rising above Double-A, Antonio Santos has reached the big leagues this shortened season. In two games so far (as I write this), he has been hit hard. What do his minor league numbers tell us to expect in the future?
Keury Mella, RHP, ARI
Keury Mella has been getting a taste of the major leagues for the past four years. Now that he is up again, let’s get to know Mr. Mella.
Jackson Rutledge, LHP, WAS
Only drafted a year ago, Jackson Rutledge has made a good impression already.
Riley O’Brien, RHP, CIN
Hi, Reds fans! Ready to meet your newest organization pitcher?
Kyle Wright, RHP, ATL
With over 40 innings pitched at the major league level, Kyle Wright is about to lose his rookie eligibility. Before that happens, let’s see how he got here.
Patrick Sandoval, RHP, LAA
As we say goodbye to Patrick Sandoval’s rookie eligibility, let’s see how he got to the majors and what we can expect now that he’s here.
Adbert Alzolay, RHP, CHC
In honor of Adbert Alzolay’s fine first start of 2020 for the Cubs, let’s see how he got here.
Johan Oviedo, RHP, STL
Johan Oviedo got his first major league strikeout today in the first inning against Chicago. What can we glean from his minor league record to tell us how his major league career might go?
Tony Santillan, RHP, CIN
You thought 2020 was bad, meet Tony Santillan’s 2019…
Humberto Mejía, RHP, MIA
Not a top prospect, and has never pitched above High-A ball, but the Marlins need an arm, and here comes Humberto Mejía to start for them at least once.
Dustin May, RHP, LAD
In honor of his great start this year, let’s see where Dustin May came from. You don’t need me to tell you he was a great prospect, but I’m going to tell you that anyway.
Luis Patiño, RHP, SD
Luis is on the San Diego 60-man roster, so what do the Padres have in him?
Nate Pearson, RHP, TOR
As Nate Pearson makes his big-league debut, what can we learn from his minor league performance?
Hunter Harvey, RHP, BAL
A right elbow strain kept Hunter Harvey from being on the Orioles Opening Day roster, but he should be back soon. What can we expect from him?
Jon Duplantier, RHP, ARI
He’s recovering from elbow issues in April, but Jon Duplantier is on the 60-man, and he will help the Diamondbacks this season. In what role?
Zack Brown, RHP, MIL
Another arm for the Brewers in their 60-man group, Zack Brown had a 2020-type year in 2019.
Daulton Jefferies, RHP, OAK
He came back from Tommy John surgery, and now he is on the Oakland 60-man roster. Welcome to the bigs, Daulton Jefferies!
Jhoan Duran, RHP, MIN
Sometimes a player puts up such good numbers, it’s a pleasure to analyze them.
Daniel Lynch, LHP, KC
A consensus Top 100 prospect, Daniel Lynch is now on the Royals 60-man roster.
Luis Oviedo, RHP, CLE
2017’s performance made Luis Oviedo look like a top prospect. 2019 did the opposite and the scouts dropped out. What do we have here?
Tony Santillan, RHP, CIN
The Reds’ minor league pitcher of the year in 2018 took a real step backward in 2019. Why?
Forrest Whitley, RHP, HOU
An industry consensus Top-20 prospect had a awful 2019. What gets the scouts excited despite the poor numbers? He’s been named to the 60-man for the Astros, so let’s get to know Mr. Whitley.
Ryan Rolison, LHP, COL
22-year-old Ryan Rolison was named to the 60-man player pool for the Colorado Rockies. What do the Rockies have in this left-hander?
