Here are Friday's top prospect performances from the Minors

If you looked up in the sky Friday night somewhere in America, chances are you saw the Sturgeon Moon during varying levels of illumination. The lunar oddity created quite the backdrop at Minor League ballparks across the country, but top prospects were making an impression in their own right. Check out some of the premier performances, none of which involved howling at the full moon.

Justin Crawford, OF, Lehigh Valley (PHI No. 3/MLB No. 43)
Crawford isn’t known for his pop, traditionally deferring to his 75-grade wheels to help him rack up base hits. But the son of four-time All-Star Carl Crawford got a hold of the second pitch of the game and swatted his fourth homer of the season for Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Philadelphia’s 2022 first-rounder added a pair of walks, a single and his 36th stolen base of the year to his big night. Knocking on the door of the big leagues, Crawford has started August scorching hot with a .385/.484/.538 slash line across nine contests. He ranks fourth in the Minors (min: 400 plate appearances) with an average of .330, and he’s even managed to excel against same-side hurlers, batting .380 vs. southpaws in 2025. Gameday

Jett Williams, SS/OF/2B, Binghamton (NYM No. 1/MLB No. 37)
Williams was a sparkplug atop the Double-A Binghamton lineup from the first pitch of the game. The Mets’ top prospect notched an infield single to open the contest, promptly reaching second on an errant pickoff throw. He then swiped third for his 30th steal of the year and first of three stolen bases on the night. The 2022 first-rounder added two more singles to his ledger, finishing with three hits and three runs scored in total. Williams is up to 24 multihit games this season, while his .287 average and .881 OPS are both on pace for career bests. The 21-year-old is one of just two players with 10+ homers and 30+ stolen bases at the Double-A level this season. Gameday

Trey Yesavage, RHP, New Hampshire (TOR No. 2/MLB No. 49)
Despite coming out of relief for the first time in his pro career, Yesavage still managed to stack up the strikeouts in bunches. The Blue Jays’ 2024 first-rounder whiffed nine batters over five frames, scattering four hits and two runs without any walks. That pinpoint control has only increased as the summer wears on with Yesavage holding a spectacular 23/0 K/BB ratio over his past three appearances. His 15 K/9 rate this season is tops among all Minor Leaguers with at least 80 innings, and his 134 strikeouts are tied for third overall. Gameday

Jhostynxon Garcia, OF, Worcester (BOS No. 2/MLB No. 87)
While Garcia originally garnered major notoriety for his spectacular nickname, “The Password,” a nod at the uniqueness of his first name, it’s been his offensive prowess that has turned him into a legitimate top-tier prospect. Garcia slugged his 19th homer of the season -- 16th at Triple-A -- at 106.9 mph off the bat in the eighth inning, capping his 28th multihit performance of the year. The Password has unlocked something in his swing during an eight-game run in August for Worcester where he has a 1.379 OPS to go along with 13 RBIs. The 22-year-old leads all current Red Sox Minor Leaguers in homers (19), RBIs (66) and wRC+ (136). Gameday

Josuar De Jesus Gonzalez, SS, DSL Giants Black (SF No. 2)
The top international prospect in the 2025 class prior to Roki Sasaki’s addition, De Jesus Gonzalez has starred in the Rookie-level Dominican Summer League as a 17-year-old. The switch-hitting shortstop notched the first grand slam of his career, a booming pull side shot from the left-handed batter’s box. He added a pair of singles for his second three-hit game since turning pro, giving him knocks in 15 of his past 17 contests. A gifted hitter who has drawn comparisons to Francisco Lindor at the same age, De Jesus Gonzalez has racked up a .396 on-base percentage and is also a threat on the basepaths with 25 steals in 29 attempts. Gameday

Daniel Eagen, RHP, Hillsboro (AZ No. 13)
For the second time this season, Eagen spun six no-hit frames, helping High-A Hillsboro carry a no-hitter into the ninth inning. While the Hops were unable to finish off either bid, Eagen was wholly dominant, logging 16 called strikes en route to a 10-punchout start. Making the 22-year-old’s outing even more impressive was that he opened his day by walking the leadoff batter on four pitches; after that, he went 18 up, 18 down. Selected in the third round of the 2024 Draft by the D-backs, Eagen has mowed through the Northwest League in his debut season, leading the league in BAA (.190) and K/9 (12.0), while ranking second in ERA (2.68) and WHIP (1.10).
