Matt Gorski is the Pirates Prospects Player of the Month for May

Matt Gorski had an incredible month for power with Greensboro, which resulted in him getting promoted to Double-A Altoona for the last week of May. Before leaving Greensboro, he put up a 1.409 OPS with 12 homers in 71 plate appearances in the first three weeks of May. He then homered in his first game with Altoona. He finished the month with a .306/.388/.824 slash line in 98 plate appearances, which gave him an OPS 220 points higher than the second best mark among the 30 Pittsburgh Pirates minor leaguers who had at least 70 plate appearances in May.
