Power-laden prospects flex their muscles on a homer-happy Wednesday

On a day in which homers were flying out of Minor League ballparks across the country, a few particularly stood out. Top 100 prospects Coby Mayo and Moisés Ballesteros slugged a pair of homers apiece, although even those were outdone by a Mets slugger who took three jogs around the bases. Meanwhile, Padres phenom Leo De Vries continued to wow at High-A while the D-backs' Jordan Lawlar has been doing everything he can to get back to The Show:
Coby Mayo, 3B/1B, Norfolk (BAL No. 2/MLB No. 13)
Mayo registered his first multihomer game of the season for the Triple-A Tides and reached base four times in his latest game with multiple hits. The Florida native added a double, a walk and drove in three runs to continue a strong offensive stretch. Mayo has gone 9-for-23 with four multihit efforts in his past six games to lift his slash line to .268/.354/.481. Gameday

Moisés Ballesteros, C/1B, Iowa (CHC No. 4/MLB No. 65)
Ballesteros has been one of the Minors' best hitters since the start of the season and added to his glitzy stat line with his second multihomer performance of 2025. The 21-year-old extended a pair of streaks with his two jacks -- consecutive games with a hit (16) and an RBI (five). Ballesteros, who is batting .402 with a 1.078 OPS, has hit safely in 19 of his last 20 contests after going hitless in two of his first three for Triple-A Iowa. Gameday

Jacob Reimer, OF, Brooklyn (NYM No. 20)
It took Reimer two at-bats to equal his home run total coming into the game and two more to exceed it. The 21-year-old became the first player to club three long balls in one game since Brooklyn became a High-A affiliate in 2021 and the first from any Cyclones player since 2005. Reimer equaled a season high with five RBIs and is slashing .318/.383/.659 with 16 extra-base hits and 21 RBIs in 21 games. Full story | Gameday

Jordan Lawlar, SS, Reno (AZ No. 1/MLB No. 10)
The red-hot Lawlar continued to rack up hits, matching a personal best with four knocks and two RBIs while extending his hitting streak to 11 games -- nine of them multihit affairs. The Texas native and sixth overall pick in the 2021 Draft ripped a double and singled three times to give him a Minor League-best 43 hits. Lawlar is all over the offensive leaderboards, slashing .381/.470/.690 with 21 extra-base hits, 34 runs and 30 RBIs in 28 games for Triple-A Reno. Gameday

Eduardo Tait, C, Clearwater (PHI No. 4/MLB No. 89)
Tait flexed his muscles early again for Single-A Clearwater, going deep in the opening frame for a second consecutive game to highlight a three-hit performance. The 18-year-old native of Panama added an RBI double, scored twice and has hit safely in six of his last seven games. Tait, who has played just 48 games of affiliated ball, has an .871 OPS, 11 extra-base hits and 18 RBIs in 20 games. His six homers are tied with Palm Beach's Josh Kress for the most in the Florida State League. Gameday

Arjun Nimmala, SS, Spokane (TOR No. 1/MLB No. 83)
Nimmala, who had gone deep three consecutive games before being held hitless on Tuesday, was once again kept in the yard for High-A Spokane. But the 19-year-old did double twice and drive in two runs during his second three-hit night of 2025. Nimmala, who has collected nine of his 11 RBIs in the past five games, has amassed a slash line of .294/.362/.541. Gameday

Noah Schultz, LHP, Birmingham (CWS No. 1/MLB No. 15)
Schultz followed up a scoreless start with another solid performance over a career-high six innings for Double-A Birmingham. The 21-year-old struck out six while allowing two runs on five hits and two walks, tossing 92 pitches (66 for strikes). Schultz, who has yet to allow a home run through five starts, lowered his ERA to 3.42 and has 24 strikeouts in 23 2/3 innings. Gameday
