Baseball America and MLB Pipeline each have prospect articles from Thursday morning that include notes on the Pittsburgh Pirates. BA has an article for 50 prospects who stood out during Spring Training. Pipeline’s article looks at the most talented teams in the minors.
Starting with the BA list, three Pirates made their group of 50 players. They have mentions for pitchers Bubba Chandler and Anthony Solometo, as well as shortstop Tsung-Che Cheng.
Chandler’s report sounds a lot like how he looked last year in Bradenton, noting the strong velocity, the breaking ball with plus potential, as well as a changeup that is a solid pitch.
