ALTOONA -- With the Altoona Curve being eliminated from the Eastern League Divisional Series over the weekend, it seemed like a great time to take a look at the Pirates’ consensus #2 prospect and MLB Pipeline’s #8 outfielder. Austin Meadows was promoted from Single-A Bradenton to Double-A Altoona on September 2nd, just in time to help the club clinch a playoff spot in the final six games of the regular season. Meadows was then arguably the Curve's best player in their series loss to Bowie. Ultimately, the time spent in Altoona was short, but his impact was great.
Meadows spent the majority of the season in Bradenton and hit extremely well despite being young for the level.
