Prospect Pulse
A personalized MLB prospect tracker that turns minor-league box scores and scouting notes into a watchlist tailored to your favorite team and fantasy league.
Die-hard MLB fans who follow the minor leagues and want to know which teenagers will be the next All-Stars
- Auto-updated Top-100 board that re-ranks after every game based on stat-line context (age vs. league, K/BB, exit velocity)
- Team-by-team farm-system deep dives with player comparison to recent MLB call-ups like Trey Yesavage
- 'Why this prospect matters' one-paragraph scouting summaries written in plain English for each Top-30 name
- Trade-deadline and call-up predictor that flags prospects most likely to debut within 30 days
The All-Star Futures Game and midseason prospect lists drive a sharp spike in fan interest in minor-league names, and fans want a single place to follow them without reading five different scouting outlets.
Multiple dedicated prospect apps (The Prospects app, Prospect Ping, MLB Pipeline Player Tracker) confirm an active niche, but the audience is die-hard MiLB/dynasty fantasy fans — a thin slice of baseball fans, not mainstream.Minor League Player Tracker for MLB and MiLB Players ↗Player Tracker | Prospect Pipeline | MLB.com ↗
Crowded market: The Prospects app, Prospect Ping (explicitly targets dynasty fantasy managers and prospect fans), MLB.com's official Pipeline tracker, RotoProspects, and Baseball America all serve overlapping needs; 'personalized watchlist by team/fantasy' is a thin differentiator.Prospects App | Follow Minor League Baseball players ↗Prospect Ping | MiLB Player Alerts & MLB Prospect Notifications ↗
Proven willingness to pay at low price points — RotoProspects charges $4.99/mo for prospect rankings and Baseball America monetizes prospect content — but ceiling is low given the niche audience and free MLB.com alternative.Updated Top Prospect Rankings - RotoProspects ↗2025 Top 100 MLB Prospects - Baseball America ↗
MiLB has structural stability and prospect interest recurs yearly with the draft and Futures Game, but 2021's affiliate contraction shows league-level volatility and AI-generated scouting summaries could commoditize the 'notes' layer.Top 100 prospects updated in-season rankings 2025 - MLB.com ↗
Box-score/stat data is readily available via Sportradar, API-Baseball, and RapidAPI, but aggregating proprietary scouting notes from multiple outlets is legally and commercially hard; MLB's own pipeline data gives the incumbent a free advantage.Baseball API Overview ↗MiLB App | Minor League Baseball - MLB.com ↗
