It's prospect promotion -- and debut! -- season in the Minor Leagues, so there's plenty to cover in the latest MLB Pipeline Podcast.
Before being joined by Nationals shortstop Eli Willits -- this year's No. 1 overall Draft pick -- Sam Dykstra, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff begin the latest edition by talking prospect promotions, starting with the exciting big league debuts of the Orioles' Samuel Basallo, the Mets' Nolan McLean and Owen Caissie of the Cubs.
Willits joins the discussion to talk about his decision to turn pro and what fans can expect to see out of MLB's No. 18 overall prospect in the future.
From there, the discussion turns to Top 100 prospects we could see in the big leagues before the end of the year, such as Pittsburgh's Bubba Chandler, Philadelphia's Andrew Painter and St. Louis' JJ Wetherholt.
