ALTOONA, Pa. – Sitting atop the Pirates minor league organizational leader board in home runs are three names: Jordan Luplow (14), Logan Hill (14), and Max Moroff (13). No one else has more than seven home runs in the organization.
Hill is doing it in the Florida State League, which is quite impressive for a player in essentially his first season at High-A ball. You know about Moroff’s story, which right now has him in the major leagues after converting his gap-to-gap approach to home run power.
As for Luplow, he hit is 14th home run on June 6th, which is the fastest a player has reached that mark in Altoona Curve franchise history (h/t Cory Giger, Altoona Mirror).
