Cleveland Guardians pitching prospect Parker Messick shows his elite potential during MLB's Spring Breakout Showcase.

After much success in its debut last year, Spring Breakout is back in 2025, creating a showcase-type opportunity for the best and brightest faces of the future by pitting them against other prominent prospects from other organizations.

Genao batted .330 (.878 OPS) with 38 doubles and 10 HR between Lynchburg and Lake County last season. He’ll turn 21 on May 19. He’s a switch-hitting shortstop who seems born to play baseball. Nearly every move is fluid and confident. In some ways, he reminds me of a very young Julio Franco — although that’s probably an unfair label to put on Genao.
