Time This major lead baseball event showcases top prospects from each team, giving fans a rare look at future stars they might not see otherwise. Fans have fully embraced the concept, with the Nationals loading their roster with nearly all their top 30 prospects who are healthy. It features a mix of players close to the majors and recent teenage draftees, creating real excitement across different career stages. Fans and analysts are buzzing about pitches like Luis Peralas, who showed electric stuff in a recent spring training outing against the Mets. He touched nearly 100 miles per hour on his fastball with sharp breaking pitches, though his command needs work. The Nationals face a big choice on whether he starts in triple A or shifts to relief, especially since he's already on the 40-man roster.

The middle infielder dominated in the Dominican Summer League last year and could make his first stateside appearance, even if playing time is limited, among so many infielders. Overall, 91 of the top 100 prospects league wide are participating, minus a few injuries or big league locks. It's a highlight of spring training, so mark your calendars for this must-watch showcase.
