Baseball fans will have the opportunity to watch Kade Anderson, ranked as the No. 2 prospect for the Seattle Mariners and No. 19 overall by MLB, make his Double-A debut for the Arkansas Travelers against the Midland RockHounds on Friday. The game is part of a series of Minor League Baseball matchups available to stream for free throughout the season on the Bally Sports Live app and at BallySports.com, according to an announcement made on Apr. 22.
The ability to view top prospects like Anderson at no cost is significant for fans who want access to emerging talent in baseball without needing a subscription. While an MLB+ subscription offers additional features such as live and on-demand MiLB games, live audio coverage of all Major League teams, MLB Network, and MLB Big Inning, selected Minor League games featuring highly regarded prospects remain free.
Anderson’s matchup against Jamie Arnold (No. 2 prospect for Oakland Athletics and No. 39 overall) brings together two standout left-handed pitchers from last year’s draft class. Both players were known as dominant starters during their college careers—Anderson with Louisiana State during its championship run in 2025 and Arnold with Florida State—and now face each other in their professional debuts at this level.
The Arkansas lineup supporting Anderson includes Lazaro Montes (Mariners’ No. 4/MLB No. 41) and Michael Arroyo (Mariners’ No. 5/MLB No. 65), while Arnold will contend with Leo De Vries (Athletics’ top prospect/MLB No. 4), who has been described as a rising star.
Other featured games include Max Clark leading Toledo Mud Hens against Syracuse Mets; Seth Hernandez making his pro debut for Bradenton Marauders versus Dunedin Blue Jays; Payton Tolle starting for Worcester Red Sox against St. Paul Saints; and first-round shortstops Ethan Holliday facing Kayson Cunningham in Fresno Grizzlies vs Visalia Rawhide.
