This week\u2019s minor league roundup will only feature the numbers accumulated prior to the start of play on Monday.<\/p>\n
This was the 14th week of minor league play.<\/p>\n
According to FanGraphs (which factors in age and proximity to the big leagues), the overall top hitter in the Rays farm system has changed once again. 25-year old Tristan Peters continues to hold the top spot. The Rays originally acquired Peters from the Giants in a 40-man roster deadline deal following the 2022 season. Thus far in 2025, Peters is hitting .306\/.398\/.483 with 8 HR and 10 SB over 314 plate appearances, registering a 134 wRC+<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Joe Boyle continues to hold the top pitching spot. Boyle had dealt with extreme command issues for his entire career, but seems to have put them behind him now. Entering play on Tuesday, Boyle has a 1.85 ERA | 3.41 FIP with a 32.9 K% & 10.6 BB% over 73 IP.<\/p>\n
