Here’s how Thursday went for the top prospects.
Class-A West Virginia — South Atlantic League
No. 2 — Jarred Kelenic, OF

Gilbert, in three starts for West Virginia, has struck out 44 % of the batters he’s faced and sat 93-95 mph, touching 96-97, and his spike curveball has primarily been above-average to plus.
High-A Modesto — California League
No. 11 Cal Raleigh, C
THU: DNP
2019: .191/.296/.340 2 HR, 8 RBI, 7 BB, 11 SO
Raleigh is seven for his last 42 with 10 whiffs and eight walks. He did throw out two would-be base stealers in this one.

UR Jake Haberer, RHR
THU: 1.1 IP, SO
2019: 5 G, 8.1 IP, 2 H, BB, 12 SO
Waiting for Haberer to start getting some high-leverage opportunities. His stuff and command suggest he’s ready for that challenge.
