Among the prospects, Tennessee right-handed pitcher Nate Snead ranks No. 113 overall. He ranks No. 27 among right-handed pitchers on the prospect list.
"Snead owns one of the hottest fastballs in college baseball, usually dealing at 95-97 mph with the capability of reaching 101," Snead's scouting profile says. "His heater is more powerful than lively, featuring more sink than carry, so it can get whacked when he doesn't locate it well."
Snead began his collegiate career at Wichita State in 2023 before transferring to Tennessee. He was a component in the Vols' bullpen during their 2024 national championship run in the College World Series. Snead pitched 75.1 innings in 29 games. He recorded 61 strikeouts, while allowing 71 hits, 28 runs and 26 walks.
Snead has pitched 45.1 innings in 20 games, recording 36 strikeouts and allowing 50 hits, 30 runs and 15 walks in 2025.

Phillies Cristopher Sanchez shows he has come a long way with a complete-game victory

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — As recently as two years ago, Cristopher Sanchez was a pitcher in transition, earning some major league time yet frequently shuttling between the Phillies and their Triple-A affiliate in the Lehigh Valley. He was also trying to establish himself, at both levels, as a starting pitcher, one who has now not only has shown an affinity for pitching for length, but pitching as effectively as anyone in baseball. The 28-yeaer-old Sanchez showed his stuff again Tuesday night, pitching a complete game, 4-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox. In the course of a 106-pitch gem, he allowed a fourth-inning home run to Rob Refsnyder and also struck out 12 batters and induced 13 ground ball outs. While only becoming a regular starter late in the 2023 season, Sanchez wiped away his early career inconsistency and became an All-Star last season, and probably should have been one this season. He is 9-2 with a 2.40 ERA, has gone six innings or more over his last nine consecutive outings. 'That just tells me that the work we've been doing since the offseason is working,' Sanchez said of his consistency. 'And that's something I take a lot of pride in.' With a vulnerable bullpen and usual second-starter Aaron Nola suffering a bad season start before going down with an injury, Sanchez's growth is something the Phillies desperately needed. He has responded with a cool demeanor and an arsenal that includes a high-90s fastball often tempered with a killer change-up. 'He has electric stuff,' Bryce Harper said of Sanchez after the Phillies improved to 58-43. 'He's done a great job for us. Just throws strikes. He's kind of evolved into an ace for us.' Sanchez also has an understanding with manager Rob Thomson ... he isn't usually a pitcher who asks to come out of a game. Hence, when Sanchez kicked into an unusual celebration after striking out Refsnyder for the second time in the game to end the eighth inning, it turned out this show still had an inning to go. 'No, I always wait for the manager to tell me I'm done,' Sanchez said. 'I wait for him to come to me.' Thomson went to his second ace starter after the eighth, 'just to see if he was OK. 'He said, 'No, I'm not tired, I'd tell you if I was tired,'' Thomson said. 'So we sent him back out.' It took only 10 pitches in the ninth for Sanchez to finish out his third career complete game. With it will come yet more recognition that this guy is on the list of potential National League Cy Young Award candidates. That's a long way from the hopeful pitcher splitting time between the minors and majors just a few seasons ago. 'That was very hard, but I never gave up,' Sanchez said. 'I was staying strong, both mentally and physically, and I was always ready for the opportunity whenever it came.' ___ AP MLB:

DeGrom retired 10 straight A's at one point and allowed just three hits while throwing 86 pitches, 60 for strikes. Garcia's homer in the fourth inning tied it and Texas went ahead to stay in the sixth on Semien's 364-foot shot off the foul pole in left field that required replay review to be confirmed. Seager's 3-run shot highlighted a four-run seventh. The Rangers shortstop has reached base in 23 straight games. Sean Newcomb (2-5) took the loss for the Athletics. Starter J.T. Ginn yielded one run in five innings, allowing five hits with two strikeouts. Butler's homer was his 14th of the season for the A's, who have lost three straight. Key moment Seager's three-run, 399-foot homer in a four-run seventh provided the necessary run support to secure the victory. Key stat DeGrom secured his 10th win of the season, marking the fifth time in his career he has had double-digit wins.

Rays snap White Sox' 5-game winning streak

José Caballero had two hits and two RBIs and the Tampa Bay Rays scored all their runs in the second inning before holding on for a 4-3 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night. The loss was Chicago's first since the All-Star break and snapped a season-high five-game winning streak. Tampa Bay's Drew Rasmussen allowed two runs on three hits over four innings, walking one and striking out five. It was just the fifth time Rasmussen didn't complete five innings, so Edwin Uceta (7-2) picked up the win with two scoreless innings of relief. Pete Fairbanks pitched the ninth for his 17th save. White Sox starter Davis Martin (2-8), returning from a forearm strain, was charged with four runs — three earned — on three hits over five innings. He walked four — three in the second — and two of those runners scored. One came in on a balk, and Caballero hit a two-run single before scoring on a groundout after advancing to third on a throwing error. Chicago got to Rasmussen in the fourth. Mike Tauchman led off with a double before Chase Meidroth and Edgar Quero drove in runs. Colson Montgomery his first career home run in the seventh inning. Caballero made a diving stop of Meidroth's ground ball that came off the bat at 97 mph to get a forceout at second in the eighth inning and prevent a White Sox rally. Chandler Simpson stole three bases, breaking the Rays' rookie record of 27 previously held by Rocco Baldelli (2003). Simpson now has 30. Taj Bradley (6–6, 4.35 ERA) starts Wednesday for the Rays in their final home game of July. Chicago sends out Jonathan Cannon (4–7, 4.18).
