Liam Doyle Leads Springfield Cardinals Prospect Showcase

0:00It's April 2, I'm Corey with the story, this is MLB News today, driven by AI and Bill for baseball fans. St. Louis Cardinals fans, your number two prospect Liam Doyle is kicking off the season in AA with the Springfield Cardinals. They dropped the roster on April 1 and he's on it after just one quick appearance there last year. Drafted 5th overall in 2025 out of Tennessee, Doyle only made two pro-starts total, one in high A and that shut-out stint in Springfield, where he fanned three and two innings. Doyle dominated college ball, logging 95 and two-thirds innings with 164 strikeouts against just 32 walks. That fastball of his is already big league ready of the Cardinals push him, but they're keeping it steady in AA for now. Springfield stack with talent, pulling in the system's number five prospect to Range Lo Sienshi, plus a bunch more like number 23 Deneal, Ortiz and others down to number 30. Fans in the area have every reason to hit those games, it's a prospect showcase.

1:04These young arms could lock down the Cardinals rotation for years, but first they've got a climb from double A. Doyle and Sihenji leading the pack makes this Springfield squad one to watch all season. Keep an eye on how fast they rise. Coles Nation might see some promotions before Summer's out.
