As the Minnesota Twins' spring training continues in Fort Myers, Florida, eight standout players from the backfields have caught the attention of scouts and fans alike. Among them is Connor Prielipp, a left-handed pitcher whose performance has marked him as a top prospect, racking up an impressive strikeout rate in minor league games. His fastball consistently reached 94-97 mph, leaving hitters flailing.

Brandon Winokur, another rising star, displayed his power potential with multiple home runs and high exit velocities, while Yoel Roque, at just 18, has shown an electrifying fastball that sits at 94-95 mph. Third baseman Rayne Doncon, along with pitchers Dasan Hill and Michael Carpenter, exhibited notable skills that promise an exciting future for the Twins. Each player will start the season at various levels of the minors, keeping an eye on their trajectory toward the big leagues.

Yuli Gurriel broke the scoreless deadlock in the seventh inning, securing a crucial pinch-hit RBI single that led the San Diego Padres to a narrow 1-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves. The game saw Jake Cronenworth start the decisive rally with a ground-rule double before Gurriel's timely hit, showcasing the Padres' ability to capitalize on their limited scoring opportunities.

Both starting pitchers delivered exceptional performances, each throwing six shutout innings. Randy Vasquez of the Padres and Spencer Schwellenbach of the Braves kept hitters off balance, despite the Padres' prior offensive success in the series. The Braves, despite multiple chances, failed to convert, while Wandy Peralta earned the win in relief, highlighting San Diego's depth in the bullpen.

Fantasy baseball enthusiasts are always on the lookout for hidden gems, and this season is no different. Each MLB team presents potential draft sleepers that could deliver significant value. From Jake McCarthy of the Arizona Diamondbacks, who showed promising speed and power last season, to Tyler Soderstrom of the Oakland Athletics, who benefits from a change in ballpark, these players offer intriguing upside.

Moreover, younger prospects like AJ Smith-Shawver from the Atlanta Braves and Heston Kjerstad from the Baltimore Orioles hint at breakout potential. The Boston Red Sox’s Roman Anthony, who excelled as a top prospect, could also provide immediate dividends if given the chance. Meanwhile, pitchers like Matthew Boyd and Casey Mize are poised for bounce-back seasons, making them late-round fliers worth considering. The landscape is ripe for fantasy managers to capitalize on these deep sleepers.

The Atlanta Braves are set to kick off their Spring Training with a matchup against the Minnesota Twins, featuring some of the franchise's most promising prospects. Notably, Drake Baldwin, the Braves' top prospect, will take the field as a designated hitter, batting fifth. Baldwin's impressive stats from last year's Triple-A season, where he recorded a .298 batting average with 12 home runs and 55 RBIs, have raised expectations around his performance this season.

Joining Baldwin is Nacho Alvarez Jr., who will bat sixth and play third base, showcasing the depth of talent the Braves possess. Furthermore, offseason acquisition Nick Allen will occupy the shortstop position, hoping to secure a spot in the lineup with a strong performance. This game will be a key opportunity for these players to demonstrate their potential and cement their places in the team's future plans.
