The Pirates will be sending a talented group to the Arizona Fall League this off-season, highlighted by two of their best prospects, Austin Meadows and Reese McGuire. The AFL is mostly made up of upper level talent, which will be a challenge for both players. Meadows is currently in Altoona, and just finished the season in the Eastern League playoffs. McGuire finished the year with Bradenton, and didn't get a promotion to Double-A.
Prior to today's game, Neal Huntington discussed the decision to send both players to the Fall League.
“Austin is a very advanced player overall, and felt that he was absolutely ready," Huntington said.
