In the exciting world of baseball, spring training serves as a platform for young and overlooked prospects to make their mark and prove their worth. This year, several players have caught the attention of scouts and fans alike, displaying their skills and potential to excel at the highest level of competition. Let's take a closer look at these budding stars who are ready to shine in the big leagues.

One such prospect is Aranda, who has been vying for the designated hitter (DH) position with the Guardians. Despite the team leaning towards another direction initially, Aranda's impressive performance this spring has made it clear that he won't be overlooked for long. With a remarkable .339/.449/.613 slash line and 25 home runs in just 95 games at Triple-A last year, Aranda's abilities at the plate are undeniable. The Rays have shown interest in him as well, hoping to acquire him as their DH this season.

Schneider is another player who has been flying under the radar. His patience at the plate and pull-oriented swing have translated well in both Triple-A and the majors. With a.275/.416/.553 slash line in Triple-A Buffalo and a .276/.404/.603 slash line in the majors, Schneider has proven that he belongs at the highest level. The only reason he hasn't received more recognition is due to the Blue Jays' uncertainty about his playing time.

Vargas, despite his disappointment last year, may have an explanation for his underwhelming performance. He played the entire season with a painful right hand, which likely affected his ability to perform at his best. While there might not be an immediate opening for Vargas, his opportunity could arise with the struggles of Gavin Lux's throws at second base for the Dodgers.

Ortiz, a candidate for the Brewers' infield positions, has impressed with his superb defense and speed. However, it's his high-end exit velocities that hint at a tremendously high ceiling, surpassing what his minor league statistics indicate. As one of the top-ranked prospects last year, Baty struggled initially in the majors but is expected to start at third base for the Mets this season. With his immense potential, he could easily figure things out and become a standout hitter.

Busch, who struggled to find a defensive fit with the Dodgers, found a fresh start with the Cubs as their starting first baseman. Despite his impressive .323/.431/.618 slash line in Triple-A last year, his transition to the Cubs has been met with little fanfare. Nonetheless, his abilities at the plate speak for themselves.

Black may not have been a serious contender for the Brewers' third base job this spring, but his exceptional speed and stolen base skills could make a significant impact once he gets called up. With an impressive 55 stolen bases and 88 walks last year, Black's well-rounded skills make him a player to watch.

The list of overlooked prospects continues with Pauley, who has secured a spot on the Padres' opening day roster. He is expected to fill in at third base until Manny Machado is ready to return from the injured list. Anderson, who suffered an MCL sprain early last year, believes that his mechanics were affected, leading to a dip in his performance. However, his track record of hitting .318 with power and speed makes him a valuable asset.

Geraldo Perdomo, despite being the incumbent shortstop for the defending NL champions, hasn't shown much promise offensively. With the emergence of Lawlar at Triple-A, it's only a matter of time before he takes over the position. Lawlar has shown immense potential and has been named the Cardinals' starting shortstop for the upcoming season.

The article also highlights other overlooked prospects like Caballero, Benson, Siri, Wallner, Rafaela, and Scott, who have the potential to make a significant impact in stolen bases, power hitting, and overall performance in the big leagues.

As the spring training season comes to a close, these overlooked prospects have seized the opportunity to showcase their skills and potential. With their determination and talent, they are ready to make a name for themselves in the big leagues. Baseball fans and scouts eagerly await their official debut, eager to witness their journey from being overlooked to becoming stars in the game.
