The World Baseball Classic is turning into a prospect spotlight, and Adam Weinrib and Eric Cole are here to sort through the names you need to know.

They break down Lucas Ramirez’s big moment, Joseph Contreras introducing himself against Aaron Judge, and whether Najer Victor is a real sleeper or just a perfect one-night showcase story. Plus, they get into Andrew Fischer, Jac Caglianone, Konnor Griffin vs. Kevin McGonigle, and why Spencer Jones still matters even after a camp demotion.

If you’re trying to track the next wave of MLB talent before the rest of the baseball world catches up, this is the episode for you.
