Meet the 6 Rising Minor Leaguers Poised to Shake Up MLB This Summer—You Won't Believe Who Made the List!

While Lagrange has been deployed as a starter and has been reasonably effective across five Triple-A outings, the pending returns of Cole and Rodon to an already crowded rotation make it nearly impossible to envision a path for Lagrange to break into the rotation anytime soon. But that doesn’t mean New York won’t be tempted to call him up, with his elite velocity a tantalizing potential spark to add to a bullpen that has thus far been more average than great. The 22-year-old’s fastball has averaged 99.3 mph, and he has thrown 25 pitches in excess of 101 mph, including a 102.6-mph bolt that ranks as the fastest pitch thrown in Triple-A this season. It’s reasonable for the Yankees to play it slow here, especially with the big-league ballclub off to a great start and no pressing need. But don’t be surprised if Lagrange emerges as a high-leverage weapon in the coming months.
