This week’s minor league roundup will only feature the numbers accumulated prior to the start of play on Monday.
This was the 23rd week of minor league play.
According to FanGraphs (which factors in age and proximity to the big leagues), newcomer Jadher Areinamo remains the top hitter in the Rays system; the Rays acquired the 21-year old infielder from Milwaukee for Danny Jansen in late July.
Meanwhile, Ty Johnson continues to be the team’s top minor league pitcher. The 23-year old came to the Rays as part of the return for Isaac Paredes and is having a fantastic season in Double-A.
The Rays allowed the Braves to take Ha-Seong Kim from them on the waiver wire, paving the way for Carson Williams to fully become the team’s starting shortstop.Aidan Smith has been scorching over the past two weeks; since August 15th, he is hitting .383/.431/.617 (201 wRC+ over 63 PA).Nathan Flewelling, the Rays 3rd round pick in 2024, is quietly putting together a solid debut season and has been performing better as the season progresses. During August, the 18-year old hit .299/.471/.481.April: 77 wRC+May: 89 wRC+June: 151 wRC+July: 100 wRC+August: 179 wRC+Must currently be assigned to that teamBaseball America’s top twenty prospects are featured below each team they’re currently assigned to.(minimum of 200 PA for hitters and 200 TBF for pitchers)#1 Carson WilliamsMLB: .250/.300/.429 | 36.7 K% | 6.7 BB% | 1 HR | 1 SB | 99 wRC+ | 30 PA | 0.2 fWARAAA: .213/.318/.447 | 34.1 K% | 12.4 BB% | 23 HR | 22 SB | 97 wRC+ | 451 PAMade big league debut on 8/22#11 Ian SeymourMLB: 2.97 ERA | 2.77 FIP | 31.1 K% | 7.4 BB% | .194 AVG | 14.1 WHIFF% | 33 1/3 IPAAA: 2.62 ERA | 3.45 FIP | 29.2 K% | 5.6 BB% | .236 AVG | 14.9 WHIFF% | 86 IPMade big league debut on 6/9Optioned to Triple-A on 6/10Promoted to the MLB on 7/8
