Around the middle of the season we often see teams make a lot of roster moves in their minor league system, especially top prospects. The Pittsburgh Pirates took the liberty of promoting Kevin Newman and Jordan Luplow to Triple-A, and Cole Tucker and Mitch Keller moved to Double-A. However, 2016 first round pick Will Craig did not receive a promotion to Double-A.
Will Craig was a first round pick out of Wake Forest in 2016. He was touted as an advanced hitter who would likely have to move from third base to first base.
