The Pirates have five players on the back half of Baseball America's Top 100 international prospect signings of 2019, which was released Monday, but their new front office regime did better with the Blue Jays last year, both in terms of quantity and quality.
The Pirates had three pitchers on the top 100: RHP Christopher Cruz (the 54th ranked prospect), RHP Roelmy Garcia (84) and LHP Yojeiry Osoria (90). Shortstop Javier Rivas (61) and outfielder Ewry Espinal (64) round out the Pirates' top five players.
