JD on Gage Wood (Jul 14, 2026): I was really excited to see Gage Woods start the Futures game this year and boy he did not disappoint. Ignoring any sort of stat line, his stuff really jumped off the page for me. With nearly a 13 K/9 across 2 levels in 2026, I think he's got this stuff to compete at the big league level already. I would just like to see him start to get some extended looks out of the rotation so we can see if the stuff holds up outside of short bursts. (Only 55 innings across 16 starts this year). He's definitely one of my favorite pitching prospects in the minors right now.
JD on Vahn Lackey (Jul 14, 2026): Four-category upside at catcher is rare, and Vahn Lackey has it after going from glove-first backstop to the top catcher in his class on a .397/.519/.772 spring with 20 homers and more walks than strikeouts. The hit tool was real before the power showed up, and he still runs well enough to steal bases from behind the plate. The Twins took him 3rd overall, a fair-value slot that should let him develop on his own timeline. Selfishly I would love to see them move him from out behind the plate, just because I feel like the bat will play so much better if he doesn't have to go through the rigors of catching on a day-to-day basis.
