So far this offseason Baseball America, MLB Pipeline, and Baseball Prospect have released their top 100 prospect lists. The Pittsburgh Pirates have not had a lot of prospects on those lists. Austin Meadows and Mitch Keller have been the only two names to pop up on all three, while Shane Baz ended up on MLB Pipeline and Baseball Prospectus’ lists. However, on FanGraphs‘ newest list, the Pittsburgh Pirates are more represented.
FanGraphs is known as a sabermetrics haven online. They look past traditional baseball stats like batting average, home runs, and other old-school numbers.
