Major League Baseball plans to showcase the sport's best young players during a series of spring-training games it's calling "Spring Breakout," sources familiar with the league's plans told ESPN.
The event, scheduled to take place from March 14-17, will pit an organization's best prospect group against another team's in a game that's part of a doubleheader with a regularly scheduled spring game. While highly regarded prospects often participate in major league spring training games, rosters filled with the best minor league players from each team typically participate on the backfields at spring complexes.
Spring Breakout will bring the top-caliber players over to the big league field and look to leverage the opportunity to better market minor leaguers, an added point of emphasis for MLB since it started running the minor leagues in 2021.
