[MLB Pipeline] Here are the Top 10 right-handed pitching prospects for 2026 (Lagrange at 10)

Hopefully he won’t be on his way to Milwaukee soon
Yankees have 3 very very legit pitching prospects with Elmer, Lagrange, and Hess. Also some intriguing arms with Cunningham and Hampton. Would be foolish to not deal one of them
Rumors spreadin’ round, in that Yankee town
’bout a prospect called Lagrange
Just let me know, if he can really throw
I’ve got TINSTAAPP on the brain
His fastball being a 70 is not an instance of MLB Pipeline grade inflation. FanGraphs had its current value in their writeup before the 2024 season as a 65, meaning it would be considered a more-than-plus pitch in MLB back before he reached Low-A.
Even if they’re ranking him at least a bit higher than Elmer, I would send Lagrange to Milwaukee over Elmer 10 times out of 10. I don’t want to move the guy who’s likely the next man up when we could send someone who still needs to work on his control at the Double-A level. While Schlittler admittedly got some Triple-A seasoning before we, out of necessity, called him up, Elmer has mastered Double-A as thoroughly as Schlittler did last year.
LaGrange could be very nasty.
My only concern with him is his body reminds me of Pineda and I worry about shoulder injuries.
(But the part about injuries can be said about all players)
But yeah, Fudd, Hess and Lagrange are very legit specs.
