The first 10 FYPD prospects taken in the 2026 #ToolshedProspectMock.

Two each taken by @IsItTheWelsh, @C_Blessing, and @MattEddyBA.

[The Toolshed Podcast @ToolshedPod]

Brady Ebel was 2025, not 2026. Got the wrong Ebel. Trey Ebel was 2026. Whoops.

[The Toolshed Podcast @ToolshedPod]

Round 6 of the 2026 #ToolshedProspectMock.

Another three Cardinals prospects off the board.

Bunch of FYPD picks in this round as well, including Brady Ebel to @RealJRAnderson, and @MattEddyBA and @fantasyaceball finishing the round with a Reese/Rose combination.

[Eric Cross @EricCrossMLB]

My last two picks in the 2026 #ToolshedProspectMock.

7.100 Joseph Dzierwa (BAL)
Coming off a phenomenal season. Dzierwa is a Top-10 pitching prospect for me with a high floor.

8.111 Ike Irish (BAL)
Potential .260/25+/10+ player with a good OBP. Very underrated right now IMO.

[Tobey Schulman @tschulmanreport]

Francisco Renteria was one of the highest ranked international prospects in the 2026 class, ranking third by MLB Pipeline. In his debut professional season in the DSL, his 176 wRC+ was the highest among qualified prospects in the system.

Renteria showed impressive raw power despite not lifting the ball consistently. He’d excel at limiting strikeouts, and made above-average swing decisions as a 17-year-old. He’s next up for being the Phillies top prospect in the organization.

[Tobey Schulman @tschulmanreport]

Gage Wood had a very impressive first full professional season in the Phillies organization after being taken in the first round of the 2025 draft. He’d make 25 starts, striking hitters out at a near 35% rate, while holding his BB% below 8%.

While his ERA was over 4.00 on the year, he posted a 3.53 ERA in the first half with 65 strikeouts and 17 walks. Right-handed-hitters struggled against his stuff, posting an OPS of just .686, while hitters had a .239 average all year.

Round 7 of the 2026 #ToolshedProspectMock.

Three Baltimore prospects to @MattEddyBA, @EricCrossMLB, and @IsItTheWelsh.

@M_Ski22 takes NYY breakout Yostin Pena.

One of the biggest pitching prospect breakouts, Ramon Marquez, goes to @rossjensen.

Pick 6.30 (#90) #ToolshedProspectMock

#FountainsUp OF Zion Rose
My Rank: 47

Zion Rose has ridiculous power / speed potential netting 14 steals in 19 games and 110+ mph EVs, he could be a 20/30 guy in the majors.

Write-up from August #prospect Rankings 👇

8th Round #ToolshedProspectMock

Roldy Brito, 2B/OF, COL

Outstanding athlete. Switch-hitter with solid bat-to-ball skills, improving power, and plus speed. Chases a bit too much, leading to some weak contact on the ground. Still a nice upside play here

[Martin Sekulski @M_Ski22]

Round 7 of the #ToolshedProspectMock

Yostin Pena, OF, NYY

In his pro debut as an 18yo, he slashed .354/.431/.608 with 14 homers and 37 steals between DSL/Low A. It's an aggressive approach with massive power (109 90th/ 114 max) and a fringy hit tool
