Owen Caissie, OF, Marlins: The Marlins acquired Caissie last offseason from the Cubs. He has taken no time making an impression on his new teammates. After going 4-for-8 in his first two games as a Marlin, Caissie hit a two-run walk-off home run on Sunday to give the Marlins a comeback win and a sweep of the Rockies.

Caissie didn't start on Sunday, but he entered the game in the eighth as a pinch-hitter. He grounded out to start the inning. The Marlins loaded the bases later that inning, but Heriberto Hernandez struck out to strand all three runners.

While the Marlins didn't score, it helped ensure Caissie got another chance. Javier Sanoja's two-out double put the tying run on second base. Caissie made sure Sanoja could jog home, as he blasted a Victor Vodnik changeup 394 feet, clearing the fence in right field to set off a celebration.

Carter Jensen, C, Royals: Jensen hit his first home run of the young season on Sunday, playing a big role in the Royals’ 4-1 win that ensured Kansas City left Atlanta with a win. Jensen connected on a Grant Holmes fastball, yanking it over the right field fence. Later in the game, he added a sacrifice fly that scored Bobby Witt Jr. for an insurance run. It was Jensen's first hit after he went 0-for-5 in the first two games of the year. He's now hitting .125/.200/.500 with a walk and four strikeouts.

Konnor Griffin, SS, Pirates: Griffin went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles on Sunday, continuing a very strong first weekend for Triple-A Indianapolis. Hosting St. Paul, Griffin went 1-for-3 with a pair of runs scored and a stolen base on Friday. He went 2-for-3 with a run scored and another stolen base on Saturday and then starred again on Sunday.

The No. 1 prospect in baseball had a 112.9 mph exit velocity on one of his doubles on Sunday, which was the hardest-hit ball of that game. But he did get a bit greedy on that one. With Indianapolis trailing 4-1 in the eighth inning and no outs, Griffin tried to stretch it into a triple, but Kaelen Culpepper relayed Kyler Fedko's throw from center field with to easily nab Griffin at third.

Payton Tolle, LHP, Red Sox: Tolle allowed six runs, four of them earned, in four innings in his first start of the season for Triple-A Worcester. The Red Sox No. 1 prospect generally threw strikes, but he struggled to have clean innings. Tolle, as is normal for him, relied very heavily on his fastballs. He sat 95-97 mph with his four-seamer, touching 98, but he used his 94-95 mph sinker and 89-91 mph cutter more often. He failed to throw any of his four curveballs for strikes, and he threw just six changeups.

Fellow lefthanded Red Sox pitching prospect Connelly Early, who made Boston’s big league roster out of camp, enjoyed a much better day. He allowed just one run over 5.1 innings and struck out six and left with a 2-0 lead, though Boston’s bullpen squandered the game in a 3-2 loss.

Baseball America Helium Pick Of The Day

Each day, we’ll pick a prospect that has our attention.

James Tibbs III, OF/1B, Dodgers: Less than two years after he was drafted, Tibbs is already in his third organization. The Giants' 2024 first-round pick was traded to the Red Sox in the Rafael Devers trade last year, and then sent to the Dodgers in the Dustin May trade just a month later.

But the Dodgers seem to have Tibbs in a very good place. He hit .313/.386/.667 with four home runs for the Dodgers during spring training, and he had quite the series for Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Tibbs went 3-for-4 with a double and a pair of home runs on Sunday. With a walk and three runs scored, plus five RBIs, he outscored Albuquerque by himself. Tibbs drove a fourth-inning Collin Baumgartner fastball onto the berm in straight center field, a shot measured at 406 feet. An inning later, he once again took a fastball out to center field, this time for 417 feet and 108.7 mph.

Tibbs is hitting .615/.643/1.462 with eight hits in his first three games. Tibbs ranked No. 26 on the Dodgers' Top 30 coming into the season. Many more weeks like this and he may be climbing in future updates.
