Rays' Top Pitching Prospect Brody Hopkins Invited to Spring Training

Brody Hopkins, the Tampa Bay Rays' top pitching prospect, has received a non-roster invite to Spring Training. The 24-year-old right-hander, acquired from the Mariners in 2024, is lauded for his athleticism and a curveball considered among the best in baseball. In 2025, he posted a 2.72 ERA over 116 innings in Double-A and is projected to start 2026 in Triple-A.
