Munetaka Murakami (3B - CWS)
4/26/26 11:01 AM - Hitter Profiles: The Murakami Effect (Future NPB Stars). Munetaka Murakami has been on fire lately for the Chicago White Sox. The accolades are already piling up for the 26-year-old from Kumamoto, Japan. Through 26 games, he has swatted 11 homers, with 20 RBI and 20 runs, plus an outstanding 19.5% walk rate. The strikeout concerns that limited him to a two-year deal in his initial free agency have shown up to a degree, with a 32% strikeout rate. However, when you have more homers in your first 24 career games than Shohei Ohtani did, it is certainly worth taking notice. This week in Hitter Profiles, we’re going deep, both figuratively and geographically, to scout the next superstars who could make the jump as future Major League contributors. These are deep dynasty plays as we explore Nippon Professional Baseball for options in open-universe leagues or targets over the next few offseasons. Join us for a unique Hitter Profiles as we explore the Murakami effect.

Travis Bazzana (2B - CLE)
4/26/26 12:01 AM - Prospect News: Stash List #2: Bazzana Republic or Charlie In Charge. Graduated from Stash List #1: It’s Okay To Be Scared: Noah Schultz 1. Guardians 2B Travis Bazzana (23, AAA) He’s only played 13 MLB games, but 2B Juan Brito has not adapted to major league pitching, slashing .159/.229/.227 with a 31.3 percent strikeout rate. He’s actually been a little worse than that considering he picked up four of his seven hits in his first two games. Most teams would probably give the kid more time to find his footing, but in this case, Brito’s reps come for a first-place team at the cost of plate appearances for a recent number one overall pick who is tearing it up in Triple-A. In 23 games, Bazzana has a .297/.429/.527 slash line with two homers, eight steals and almost as many walks (20) as strikeouts (22). He’s been even better over the last two weeks, slashing .409/.552/.750. Both homers were hit this week. I can’t think of a good reason why Bazzana is in the minor leagues today.
