Everything You’ll Want To Know About Spring Breakout 2025
A rundown of all the key details about this year's Spring Breakout matchups.
Spring Breakout was a hit in 2024, so Major League Baseball is bringing it back for a sophomore showing in 2025.
Last year’s event helped shine a spotlight on many of the top prospects in the game, including Paul Skenes, Jackson Holliday, Jordan Lawlar, Kyle Teel, Jace Jung, Xavier Isaac, Jacob Misiorowski, Ceddanne Rafaela, Tink Hence, Spencer Jones, Rhett Lowder, and Kyle Manzardo, to name a few.
You can expect just as many top prospects to participate this year. Plenty will be names you already know. Others will be names you’re glad you learned.
Here is everything you’ll want to know about the second annual Spring Breakout event, coming soon to a Grapefruit or Cactus League ballpark near you.
What Is Spring Breakout?
Spring Breakout is a four-day event in mid-March in which teams made up of the best prospects from each MLB organization’s farm system play against one another.
The purpose of Spring Breakout is simple: to showcase the best talent minor league baseball has to offer.
