Leo De Vries, SS, Padres: Fresh off one of the best games of this or any season—a five-hit night that included two home runs and the cycle—De Vries has shown little sign of cooling off. He's reached base in every game since his epic night, and on Tuesday put together a sort of mini encore. No cycle this time, but De Vries did go 3-for-3 with a walk. He doubled and homered as well. The longball was the third of the year for De Vries, who will play the whole year at 18 years old. His .609 slugging percentage is the best in the Midwest League, and his .968 OPS is second only to Quad Cities' Erick Torres.

Andrew Salas, SS/OF, Marlins: If infielders named Salas are your thing, Tuesday's Fort Myers-Jupiter game was made for you. The Mighty Mussels suited up Jose Salas, the Marlins-turned-Twins prospect who was on a rehab assignment at Low-A. He finished the day 1-for-3 with a stolen base. On the other side, another Salas stole the show. That would be Andrew, Jose's 17-year-old brother and the youngest player in the full-season minor leagues. He finished the day with four hits—all singles—in five trips and his sixth stolen bag of the year. The game boosted Salas' slash line to .333/.500/.400. The average is fourth in the FSL, and the on-base percentage places third. Even with just two extra-base hits to his name, Salas, who won't turn 18 until next March, ranks ninth in the league with a .900 OPS.

Jesús Made, SS, Brewers: Made is the youngest player in the Carolina League. He also might be the best player in the Carolina League. On Tuesday, in his team's series-opening win over Myrtle Beach, the 17-year-old wunderkind presented his latest argument. Batting out of the leadoff spot, Made went 4-for-5 with his third home run of the year. He drove in three runs and scored three times. The effort set a season-high for hits and gave him his sixth multi-hit game of the year. It also marked his second career four-hit game.

Brody Brecht, RHP, Rockies: There's zero doubt that Brecht has some of the best stuff in the Rockies system. The question is: How often can he put it in the zone? On Tuesday, he found it often enough to dominate Visalia for four shutout innings. Brecht surrendered three hits, issued one walk and struck out nine before yielding to the bullpen. He got 14 swings and misses in the process and established new career-highs for innings and strikeouts.

Mac Horvath, 3B/OF, Rays: The Rays acquired Horvath from the Orioles last summer in the deal that sent Zach Eflin to Baltimore. The North Carolina alum was part of a three-player package that also included outfield Matthew Etzel and righthander Jackson Baumeister. Horvath entered Tuesday with one home run in 59 at-bats at High-A Bowling Green. He closed the day with three home runs in 64 at-bats. As part of the Hot Rods' drubbing of Aberdeen, Horvath went deep twice, including a three-run jack in the eighth inning and a grand slam in the ninth. The outburst was part of Bowling Green's 14-run onslaught over the game's final three frames.

Jonny Farmelo, OF, Mariners: The Mariners activated outfielder Jonny Farmelo and sent him to High-A Everett on Tuesday, and it didn’t take long for him to make an impact. Farmelo hit a two-run homer in the fifth inning for his first hit of the season. The outfielder—whom Seattle selected with the Prospect Promotion Incentive pick they were awarded as a result of Julio Rodriguez winning Rookie of the Year in 2022—had been on the injured list since June 14, 2024, with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. He currently ranks as Seattle's No. 3 prospect and the No. 65 overall prospect in the sport. At his best, Farmelo has the potential for above-average defense, double-plus speed and average power.

Baseball America Helium Pick Of The Day

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

Gage Jump, LHP, Athletics: Jump enjoyed a highly-decorated career as a California prep in the most competitive division of the CIF. He then matriculated to UCLA before transferring to LSU. The Athletics drafted Jump in the supplemental second round in 2024, and he’s been strong to begin 2025. Last week, Jump tossed 6.2 scoreless frames, striking out 13 of the 23 batters he faced. He sat at 96 mph during the start with 18-19 inches of induced vertical break from a 5-foot-6 release height. He mixed sliders and curveballs throughout and showed off his premium stuff. Jump’s combination of movement and premium release traits give him a chance to find more success as a professional than he did in college.
