Bubba Chandler Named as Second Best FCL Prospect

Baseball America started posting their rankings of the top ten prospects by leagues on Friday and they went with the Florida Complex League. The Pittsburgh Pirates are represented on that list by RHP/DH Bubba Chandler, who ranked as the second best prospect in the league.

Chandler made this list because of his pitching, which was outstanding during the FCL season. He did so well that he just barely qualified for the list, throwing 15.1 shutout innings on three hits, with ten walks and 27 strikeouts. He didn’t allow a single hit in his last three starts, totaling 10.
