We're less than a week away from the first MiLB Awards Show, and Sam Dykstra, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff continue taking a look at the nominees on this week's episode of the MLB Pipeline Podcast. After discussing the Pitching Prospect of the Year finalists last week, it's time to examine some bats and the Hitting Prospects of the Year finalists: Michael Busch, Junior Caminero and Jackson Holliday. The trio also breaks down the Breakout Prospect of the Year and MiLB Debut of the Year Award contenders. From there, the pod turns its sights to the Arizona Fall League, which begins on Monday, and the remaining matchups in the Minor League playoffs before answering a mailbag question about the best relief pitching prospects in the game.

Judging by early returns, it sure looks like a case can be made for the Mets thanks to Drew Gilbert. The former first-round pick, who came over to New York with Ryan Clifford in exchange for Justin Verlander, has been tearing it up in Double-A. Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline joins Bradfo to give his perspective on Gilbert, and a few other early Trade Deadline success stories.
