Minor League Notables & Draft Pick Tracker - April 18th, 2026
notables across all four levels and our draft pick tracker rolls on
Tyler Bremner | RHP | Age 22 Season | Los Angeles Angels 5.0 IP / 4 H / 1 ER / 0 BB / 10 K / 69 NP
0.77 ERA on the season. Five innings, one run, zero walks, ten strikeouts on 69 pitches in a Tri-City win over Hillsboro. Ten strikeouts on 69 pitches is the number that stops you — that is an elite strikeout-to-pitch ratio from a 22-year-old arm doing something very real at this level. Zero walks paired with ten strikeouts is not a profile that is surviving by accident. The command is ahead of the level, the stuff is missing bats at a rate that demands attention, and the 0.77 ERA through multiple starts is the proof that Saturday was not an outlier.
Michael Lombardi | RHP | Age 22 Season | Kansas City Royals 4.0 IP / 3 H / 0 ER / 0 BB / 11 K / 75 NP
2.61 ERA on the season. Four innings, zero runs, zero walks, eleven strikeouts on 75 pitches in a Columbia win over Charleston. Eleven strikeouts without issuing a walk is a performance line that demands to be written about regardless of whether the name is on anyone’s radar. That is a pitcher who had complete command of every sequence and finished hitters with regularity. Zero walks in four innings and eleven punch-outs is not Low-A noise — that is a pitcher operating at a different level from the competition. Michael Lombardi is a name worth knowing - Fastball is low-to-mid 90s and this is an arm I can see having a velocity uptick as he carries on through pro-ball.
Landon Harmon | RHP | Age 19 Season | Washington Nationals 5.0 IP / 2 H / 0 ER / 0 BB / 5 K / 56 NP
0.87 ERA on the season. Five innings, zero runs, zero walks, five strikeouts in a Fredericksburg win. Another 19-year-old arm in the Fredericksburg rotation doing legitimate damage — zero walks in five innings from a teenager in Low-A is a command profile that doesn’t grow on trees. The Nationals have something real building in Fredericksburg on the pitching side and Harmon is part of it.
Zach Royse | RHP | Age 22 Season | Atlanta Braves 5.2 IP / 2 H / 0 ER / 3 BB / 5 K / 82 NP
