Bubba Chandler and the Pittsburgh Pirates take on Aidan Miller and the Philadelphia Phillies in an MLB Spring Breakout game on Friday afternoon.

The Pittsburgh Pirates will take on the Philadelphia Phillies in a Spring Breakout MiLB Prospect Showcase game on Friday afternoon at the BayCare Ballpark in Clearwater, Florida. The MLB Spring Breakout is a four-day event showcasing baseball’s future: the current stars of Minor League Baseball. Each roster was constructed using MLB Pipeline’s Top 30 Prospects lists as its foundation. That means that players with rookie eligibility entering the 2025 season — most of whom came directly from those Top 30s — are eligible for their club’s Spring Breakout roster.

Major League rookie eligibility is defined as any player who has not yet exceeded 130 at-bats, 50 innings pitched or 45 total regular-season days on an active roster at the game’s top level. Spring Breakout games are now nine innings instead of seven innings, and similar to the MLB games, they will be utilizing the ABS (automatic ball strike challenge system) for their games.

This matchup ranks on MLB.com’s best matchups by prospects, featuring a head-to-head battle of the Pirates’ right-hander Bubba Chandler taking on the Phillies shortstop Aidan Miller. Chandler is MLB’s No. 15 ranked player in the Top 100 prospects, while Miller ranks No. 27 on the same list.

Philadelphia, in addition to Miller, will also boast the No. 8 player in those rankings, Andrew Painter, along with Justin Crawford (No. 64) and Eduardo Tait (No. 93). On the opposite side, Pittsburgh has three others that join Chandler, including No. 43 Konnor Griffin, No. 80 Thomas Harrington, and No. 83 Termarr Johnson.
