The Pittsburgh Pirates added two new prospects to the farm system with the Jacob Stallings trade. The biggest player coming back in the deal is right-handed pitcher Zach Thompson, who has exceeded his prospect eligibility. That said, he will get an opportunity to show if he can be more than a back-of-the-rotation/swingman starter with the Pirates.
The Pirates also received right-handed pitcher Kyle Nicolas and outfielder Connor Scott. Both could end up playing for the Altoona Curve in 2022. Below is a look at what to expect from the two new Pirates prospects.
