Today features more Yankees' baseball, although it's not quite the normal split squad action you get on other spring days. Instead, a team of Yankee prospects will take on a team of Orioles' prospects as part of the second annual "Spring Breakout" series across MLB.
For this year's edition, the Yankees' lineup is highlighted by George Lombard Jr. and Spencer Jones. Hitting first and second in the lineup, the two recent first round picks have both had big springs, each hitting a pair of homers in regular spring action.
With one of the best farm systems in baseball, the Orioles will run out an intriguing lineup themselves, including Samuel Basallo, who is rated the 13th best prospect in all of baseball according to MLB Pipeline.
Another four of the Yankees' top 30 prospects according to MLB Pipeline will start in this game, including pitcher Carlos Lagrange. The 21-year old hasn't truly dominated any level yet, but does have some impressive strikeout numbers.
