Yesterday’s minor league action in the Pittsburgh Pirates system included the debut of top prospect Paul Skenes, plus some power from the lower levels. Check out the full results below.
Player of the Day
SHAWN ROSS, C, GREENSBORO
Ross went 3-for-5 with two home runs for Greensboro, powering them to an 8-7 victory. The catcher has ten homers this year in his first pro season, after being an undrafted free agent out of Clarendon JC in Texas. The 23-year-old has spent time at second, third, and short this year, but has gotten behind the plate more consistently in the last month.
