FanGraphs Live: Prospect Film Session, 4 PM ET

Join me and Kevin Goldstein this afternoon at 1:00 PM PT/4:00 PM ET for another Prospect Film Session live on the FanGraphs homepage, or our Twitch channel. We’ll be discussing my looks at the unique co-op scrimmages going on in Arizona and the prospects therein, including Jarred Kelenic, Erick Pena, Davis Wendzel, Nick Loftin, the prospects I wrote about here, and more.

Players who participated in spring training but didn’t make the big league team and weren’t placed on the alternate site roster need a place to continue to play in advance of minor league spring training, so a handful of Arizona-based teams are participating in a week of co-op play during which they combine prospects from a couple of different organizations to make one roster. These rosters are heavy on prospects, so I’m targeting these games as I lay a foundation of fresh notes for some of the upcoming prospects lists, in this case Seattle, Texas, Kansas City, and San Diego.

No fans are at these games; it has just been me and a handful of scouts and player dev personnel in an otherwise empty spring training stadium. The uncut footage from these games has a unique vibe, and might be the closest baseball can come to inducing ASMR. As many of you start your weekend, Kevin and I will chat and begin to flesh out our thoughts on the players, sharing a part of our list-making process with readers and viewers. Again, we can be found on either the FanGraphs home page or on our Twitch channel at Twitch channel at 4 ET/1 PT.
