The Bradenton Marauders, the Pittsburgh Pirates High-A affiliate, is off to a fantastic start this year. They currently have an impressive record of 19-11 and are one of the team’s most talented minor league affiliates. Beyond their notable prospects like Calvin Mitchell, Travis Swaggerty, and Oneil Cruz (currently hurt), the team has had a lot of success due to their pitching.
Last night was one of those nights that the pitching led the Marauders to victory. Bradenton shut out the Clearwater Threshers 1-0. Rising prospect Cody Bolton got the ball and continues to get better and better.
