Time for the July update of the JTR30, a list of the most overlooked prospects in each organization. Chris and Drew split up the leagues and find players who are rostered on less than 20% of Fantrax Leagues but should be rostered more than that.Listen and find out who's in, who's out, who's off the hot seat, who's on the hot seat and who did Drew just compare to Jackson Merrill???NOTE: We recorded this early on Tuesday before the Yankees called up JTR30 2025 Player of the Year frontrunner Cam Schlittler and also before the news came out that Jaden Hamm (Tigers) is on the injured list. I'll throw in a bonus Tiger or two, take a look at Max Anderson (2B) or Andrew Sears (P).Feel free to comment or make your own suggestions here or find us on BlueSky.Timestamps:2:20 Diego Tornes4:50 Luis Cova6:10 Eli Serrano III8:40 Carson DeMartini10:30 Angel Feliz14:40 Nestor German16:50 Freili Encarnacion19:30 Roc Riggio21:20 Ty Johnson23:40 Khal Stephen26:10 Jaxon Wiggins28:30 Adam Serwinowski30:00 Jose Anderson31:10 Javier Rivas34:20 Deniel Ortiz37:30 Tanner McDougal39:45 Alfonsin Rosario40:50 Jaden Hamm41:40 David Shields42:45 Kaelen Culpepper46:45 JD Dix50:00 Kyle Karros51:20 Brendan Tunink53:00 Humberto Cruz55:20 Bo Davidson56:20 Henry Bolte57:45 Joseph Sullivan59:20 Hayden Alvarez1:01:00 Charlie Beilenson1:02:20 David DavalilloFind us on BlueSky:Drew: @drewgotigers.bsky.socialChris: @notnotcknock.bsky.socialJoinTheRanks: @jointheranks.bsky.socialIntro and Outro Voiceover provided by Coleson Probst coprovoice@gmail.comIntro Music: One Fine Day by Keep Calm and Podcast On (Podcast.co)Thanks for tuning in!Find us on BlueSky and X:Drew: @drewgotigers.bsky.social/ @aok_fan (X)Chris: @notnotcknock.bsky.social/ @notnotcknock (X)JoinTheRanks: @jointheranks.bsky.social/ @JoinTheRanksTDG (X)Intro and Outro Voiceover provided by Coleson Probst coprovoice@gmail.comIntro Music: One Fine Day by Keep Calm and Podcast On (Podcast.co)

Hunt back story and a discussion of the comparative value of Ty Johnson and Josh Ekness in a "you can only add prosepcts" best ball dynasty.Two points of clarification: we finished recording this a couple hours before the George Kirby injury announcement (why can't we have nice things?) and Mavis Graves is not the online typing teacher.
