The first day of July featured some early holiday fireworks, including a pair of Top 100 prospects tallying multihomer games at Triple-A. Carter Jensen and Joe Mack represented their catching brethren well, but they weren't the only heavy hitters. Midwest League sluggers Zyhir Hope and Josue Briceño tried to one-up each other in a head-to-head matchup while Michael McGreevy and Trevor Harrison hung up zeros on the pitching side.
Zyhir Hope, OF, Great Lakes (LAD No. 2/MLB No. 37)
Hope kicked off July with a pair of hits, continuing the hot streak he was on at the end of last month. The 20-year-old doubled twice and drove in three runs during his fourth multihit performance in five games. Hope ended June by hitting in five consecutive games and is slashing .299/.400/.470 with 49 RBIs and 29 extra-base hits in 73 games for High-A Great Lakes. His 20 doubles are second in the Midwest League. Gameday
Josue Briceño, 1B/C, West Michigan (DET No. 4/MLB No. 58)
Briceño's All-Star-worthy campaign gained more steam with his fourth consecutive multihit game for High-A West Michigan. The 20-year-old, who leads the circuit with 14 roundtrippers, reached base five times and doubled on a three-hit night to lift his average to a season-high .291. Briceño paces the Midwest League in slugging (.599) and OPS (1.015) to go along with 52 RBIs in 51 games. Gameday
Carter Jensen, C, Omaha (KC No. 3/MLB No. 73)
Jensen is still finding his footing for Triple-A Omaha, but he has the power aspect down pat. The lefty-swinging backstop tallied his first multihomer game as a pro and drove in four runs to pace the Storm Chasers' offense. Jensen has been one of the Minors' best hitters since May, which earned him a promotion from Double-A after slashing .292/.360/.420 with 37 RBIs in 68 games for Northwest Arkansas. Gameday

Joe Mack, C, Jacksonville (MIA No. 4/MLB No. 94)
Mack kicked off July by going deep twice, driving in a season-high four runs and scoring three times for Triple-A Jacksonville. The 2021 Draft pick has turned on the power in the past week, leaving the yard six times in five games after slugging four homers in his first 59 contests of 2025. Mack, who belted a career-high 24 long balls last year, has an .808 OPS in 64 games between Double-A and Triple-A this season. Gameday
Robert Calaz, OF, Fresno (COL No. 3)
Calaz got back into the home run column in a big way, cracking a pair of solo jacks for his first two-dinger game as a pro. The native of the Dominican Republic did not leave the yard in April, although he missed most of the month with an unspecified injury, slugged five roundtrippers in May and then went without a jack in June, despite batting .291 across 79 at-bats. Calaz, who has played the entire year for Single-A Fresno at 19 years old, has three consecutive multihit games and five in his past seven contests. Gameday
Humberto Cruz, RHP, Lake Elsinore (SD No. 4)
Cruz impressed during his first affiliated start for Single-A Lake Elsinore, twirling three scoreless frames and striking out four. The 18-year-old struggled in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League prior to his promotion, posting an 8.31 ERA in eight starts, but he showed no such issues in his California League debut. Cruz allowed one hit -- a leadoff double in the second -- and fanned a pair in his final frame, finishing his outing with 41 pitches (26 for strikes). Gameday
Gavin Cross, OF, Northwest Arkansas (KC No. 5)
Coming off his best month in what has been a tough season for him to date, Cross doubled, drove in a run and equaled a career high with four hits to extend his modest hitting streak to four games for Double-A Northwest Arkansas. The ninth overall pick in the 2022 Draft has hit safely in eight of nine overall, and despite his overall struggles, has driven in 32 runs in 59 games after plating 59 for the Naturals in 2024. Gameday
Michael McGreevy, RHP, Memphis (STL No. 9)
McGreevy won for the eighth time in nine decisions after tossing six scoreless frames for Triple-A Memphis. The UC Santa Barbara product struck out five and surrendered a pair of singles during his 81-pitch outing. McGreevy rebounded from one of his worst starts of the season and lowered his ERA to 2.28 -- second-best among qualified hurlers at Triple-A -- after not allowing more than one run for the ninth time in 13 starts. The 24-year-old has a a 69-to-12 K/BB ratio in 67 innings. Gameday
Trevor Harrison, RHP, Charleston (TB No. 10)
Harrison's strong sophomore campaign continued with a second consecutive scoreless outing for Single-A Charleston. The 19-year-old completed seven innings for the first time in 31 pro appearances (30 starts) and is unscored upon in the past 13 frames. Harrison struck out five and tossed 87 pitches (56 for strikes) while lowering his ERA to 2.81 in 14 starts. Gameday
