Caleb Bonemer, SS, White Sox: Bonemer went 3-for-5 with three home runs and six RBIs for High-A Winston-Salem on Tuesday, marking his first three-homer game as a pro. In fact, he'd only had one two-home run game before what was undoubtedly the best offensive night of his career on Tuesday.

Bonemer, playing third base with Kyle Lodise getting the start at shortstop, grounded out in the first and again in the third inning. He broke up a shutout with a two-run homer to right field in the sixth. He then cut a four-run lead in half with a two-run homer down the left field line in the eighth. With Winston-Salem trailing by two with two outs in the ninth, Bonemer did it one more time, smashing his third two-run homer of the night to tie the game. In all three cases, Bonemer's homer drove in Ely Brown. Lodise drove in the winning run with an RBI single in the 10th.

Bonemer's 10 home runs are second most in the minors, one behind James Tibbs III, who has played six more games than Bonemer because of the longer Triple-A season. Bonemer, Baseball America's 23rd-ranked prospect, is now hitting .291/.406/.772.

Leo De Vries, SS, Athletics: De Vries went 3-for-4 with a pair of runs scored, a double and his fourth home run of the season for Double-A Midland on Tuesday. It was yet another performance in what's been a hot start for the 19-year-old switch-hitter. De Vries, ranked ninth in Baseball America's Top 100 Prospects, is hitting .318/.404/.506. He's struggled with strikeouts at times, as evidenced by a trio of three-strikeout games since April 21 and a 25% strikeout rate overall. But he's also piling up hits in bunches, as this was his fourth three-hit game in 22 games this season.

Emmanuel Rodriguez, OF, Twins: Few players can hit the ball harder than Rodriguez. He offered a reminder of that Tuesday when he smashed the hardest-hit home run seen in Triple-A yet this season.

Facing Ethan Roberts, the 23-year-old outfielder and No. 56 overall prospect launched the 118.3 mph home run to right field. Despite the exit velocity, the ball didn't actually travel all that far, as it was a line drive over the fence estimated at 384 feet. The shot marked just the second homer over 115 mph in Triple-A so far in 2026.

Rodriguez wasn't done. He added a 110 mph homer later in the game, which also ranked as one of the 25 hardest-hit homers in Triple-A this year. Rodriguez is hitting .253/.412/.533 this season with six home runs.

Jesús Made, SS, Brewers: Even on a night when he went 0-for-5, Made, the top-ranked prospect still in the minors, gave Double-A Biloxi fans something to remember.

With Dillon Lewis hitting a grounder to his backhand, Made knew he needed to get everything on the throw. So, he reared back and fired a one-hopper to first to nab the runner.

Biloxi broadcaster Javik Blake said that the throw was measured at 100 mph. With a play like this, there's always the chance of a misread. But if Made's 100 mph throw is accurate, it is one of the hardest ever by an infielder in the Statcast era.

There have been triple-digit throws by infielders in the major leagues in recent years, but Made's throw was different. Elly De La Cruz had a 101.0 mph throw in 2025, and Masyn Winn had one at 101.2 in 2024, but both of those were on relays from the outfield. Triple-A Albuquerque shortstop Cole Carrigg also has a 101 mph throw on a relay to home this season to nab a runner at the plate. Relay throws allow a fielder to get much more momentum into the throw than a normal play in the infield. It's also why outfielders have regularly been clocked in the triple digits on throws.

But no Triple-A or MLB infielder has had a 100-plus mph throw tracked on a play within the infield in the Statcast era. Winn did have a 100.5 mph throw on a force out in the 2022 Futures Game, which remains the only Statcast throw of 100 mph tracked on such a play. Made's bullet to first doesn't enter the Statcast records, but it is yet another reminder of how special the 19-year-old is.

Kaelen Culpepper, SS, Twins: Culpepper went 3-for-5 with a pair of home runs for Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, snapping an 0-for-14 slump. Culpepper squared up starter Jordan Wicks for a 106.7 mph home run to the bullpen beyond left-center field in the first. He then added another with a 103.0 mph, 356-foot homer to right-center field in the fourth inning. Culpepper, who sits just outside the top 50 overall prospects for 2026, is now hitting .253/.339/.444 with five home runs in 24 games for the Saints.

Konnor Griffin, SS, Pirates: Griffin hit his second MLB home run on Tuesday as part of a 2-for-4 day. While Griffin has struggled at the plate since his April 3 promotion, this past week has seen him driving the ball more consistently. Griffin launched his first career home run on Friday, April 24—the same day he turned 20—and Tuesday's two-hit performance marked his third multi-hit game of the past five games. Griffin, Baseball America's No. 1 overall prospect and the recent recipient of a nine-year, $140 million extension, is now hitting .226/.283/.385 with five extra-base hits in 24 games.

Arjun Nimmala, SS, Blue Jays: The Blue Jays sent Nimmala back to High-A Vancouver to start the 2026 season in hopes that he would show more consistency at the plate. Early on, the results were not promising, and Nimmala was hitting .132/.298/.289 as of April 17. But since then, something seems to have clicked. Nimmala homered on April 18, homered again a day later and has been on a tear ever since.

On Tuesday, the 20-year-old shortstop hit his fourth home run of the year and third of the past nine games. According to the Canadians, it was the longest home run hit at Vancouver since 2022.

Baseball America Helium Pick Of The Day

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

Jakob Wright, LHP, Dodgers: Wright did not allow a hit in four almost perfect innings of relief for High-A Great Lakes against Peoria on Tuesday. It was only almost perfect because Jose Suarez reached on a wild pitch while striking out in the ninth inning to become the only baserunner Wright allowed. He struck out eight of 13 batters faced, including his four-strikeout ninth inning to finish the game.

Wright dropped in a slurve for a called strike three for the first K of his four-strikeout inning. Suarez's swing-and-miss came on a slider, but it got away to the backstop, allowing the runner to reach. His curveball got a swing-and-miss for the third strikeout of the inning. Another curveball finished out the fourth punchout and ended the game.
