The 25-year-old corner infielder debuted in Triple-A Buffalo on May 23 and has been outstanding, hitting .324/.444/.676 with seven homers and five doubles in 21 games. He had a standout performance last Friday at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, going 5-for-6 with two homers. Tirotta can make powerful contact, reaching a top exit velocity of 110.4 mph. If he can improve his in-zone contact rate, the University of Dayton standout will gain more attention as a late bloomer.
**Orioles: Samuel Basallo, C/1B (No. 2/MLB No. 12)**
At just 19, Basallo is having his second consecutive strong month with Double-A Bowie. Over the last 30 days, he has a .315/.396/.528 line in 102 plate appearances, walking at an 11.8% rate and striking out only 17.6% of the time, resulting in 11 extra-base hits.
**Rays: Brayden Taylor, 3B/SS (No. 4/MLB No. 83)**
The 2023 19th overall pick from TCU has a reputation as an above-average hitter with power, and he’s proving it in his first full season. Over the last 30 days, Taylor leads all Top 100 prospects with 69 total bases, compiling a .353/.431/.676 line with 20 extra-base hits and 11 steals in 25 games for High-A Bowling Green. He continues to split time between shortstop and third base but is expected to settle at third, especially with Carson Williams one level above him.
**Red Sox: Kristian Campbell, 2B/OF (No. 30)**
Although Campbell showed average power and plus speed at Georgia Tech, those tools didn’t translate well in games, and he lasted until the supplemental fourth round of the 2023 Draft. The Red Sox made some swing adjustments and encouraged him to be more aggressive at the plate, yielding positive results. His hot streak, featuring a .420/.512/.710 line since his promotion to Double-A on June 4, places him among the Minor League leaders in hitting (.343, fifth), on-base percentage (.448, fifth), slugging (.606, fifth), and OPS (1.054, second).
