On this week’s Future Projection, Ben Badler and Carlos Collazo follow up on last episode’s conversation on the ABS system and how players and coaches are taking it so far. We then talk about the Spring Breakout rosters being released before pivoting into Ben’s recent trip to the Dominican Republic to scout ’em up.
After that, discussion turns to a handful of prospects who are making noise in spring training, including the Yankees duo of George Lombard Jr. and Spencer Jones, plus our first pro look at flamethrowing righthander Chase Burns.
Finally, we hit on the wide-open nature of the top of the 2025 draft class, talk through a few of our current favorites for the first-overall pick (plus a few dark horse options) and then take listener questions.
