3 MLB prospects who are almost ready for big league action

It has been an exciting year for a number of MLB prospects who have made their debuts at baseball's highest level. From Paul Skenes to Jackson Holliday and Kyle Manzardo, some of the most notable young players across baseball have made their major league debuts.

Even though some of these MLB prospects have had varying levels of success, the fact that they have reached this stage of their careers is massive. That being said, as the 2024 campaign progresses, there will be many more prospects promoted for their major league debuts.

Some of these players may have earned their promotion sooner rather than later given their minor league production, as well as their prospect pedigree. As the season rolls along, some teams will decide that giving their young players MLB experience is more important than their spot in the standings.

Here's a closer look at 3 MLB prospects who are ready for the majors

#1 - James Wood

The top prospect of the Washington Nationals, James Wood has been eyeing an opportunity in the MLB all season. The talented outfielder has been tearing the cover off the ball in Triple-A this year and appears destined for a call-up to the big club.

The 21-year-old has been fantastic this season, posting an impressive .356 batting average with 7 home runs, 25 RBIs, and 9 stolen bases. It the Washington Nationals are looking for a boost to their lineup, promoting James Wood could be the answer.

#2 - Junior Caminero

Many believed that Junior Caminero had a legitimate shot at making the Tampa Bay Rays Opening Day roster, however, this did not turn out to be the case. Although he did not make the MLB roster, Caminero has proven to the club that keeping him away from the majors might be a detriment.

As one of the top MLB prospects, Junior Caminero has showcased why many believe in his massive potential. The talented infielder has posted a .314 batting average with 7 home runs and 20 RBIs. It might not be long before he is promoted to the Tampa Bay Rays.

#3 - Coby Mayo

The Baltimore Orioles have a seemingly endless supply of top-tier MLB prospects, with several of them earning a shot in the big leagues already this season. Next in line appears to be Coby Mayo, who has continued to rake at Triple-A this year. His .291 batting average with 13 home runs, 37 RBIs, and a .964 OPS make him a likely candidate to be promoted sooner rather than later.
