Cody Ponce was the highest upside prospect the Pittsburgh Pirates acquired this year at the trade deadline. He is also the only prospect the team acquired, at least until the player to be named later from the Corey Dickerson trade is announced. Still, a 6’6” power arm is always a good prospect to pay attention too.
Ponce does not have the upside that many of the Bucs prospects have, but nonetheless he is still an intriguing prospect. A former starter, Ponce has seen an improvement in his game since being moved to the bullpen.
