In case you missed it, the Arizona Diamondbacks top prospects defeated the Colorado Rockies top prospects in the debut of the Spring Breakout.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The D-backs struck first with a pair of runs in the top of the 4th. Starting the rally was Jordan Lawlar who doubled after challenging a strike-three call.
Lawlar then scored thanks to a two-run single from A.J. Vukovich.

Starting on the mound for Arizona was Yu-Min Lin, a 20-year-old prospect from Taiwan. Lin tossed two shutout innings.
While the Diamondbacks only picked up one more run on the offensive side of things, ending the night with a mere 5 hits, their bullpen was excellent.
Gino Groover was one of the few bright spots, with a 2-3 afternoon. Groover was selected 48th overall by the Diamondbacks in the 2023 draft.
Another highlight came from Druw Jones. Although the runner was safe, Jones fired a 94 mph missile from center field.
