Spencer Jones is mashing homers and flashing tools… but is his strikeout rate too much to ignore? On this Prospect Edition of The Baseball Insiders, Adam Weinrib and Eric Cole dive into the most polarizing names making noise to open the 2025 MiLB season.

From Jones’ power-speed combo to Cade Horton’s electric (but wild) stuff and Chase Burns’ early outings, it’s a full breakdown of the highs and lows from some of the biggest prospect names in baseball. Plus, a brand-new Risers & Fallers segment and a welcome to the show for Nick Kurtz — are the A’s actually trying to win now?
