MLB Pipeline has recently updated their list of the top 100 prospects in baseball and the top 30 prospects for the Pittsburgh Pirates. The also updated the top ten prospects by position and the Pirates have four players on those lists.
While Henry Davis is the top prospect in the system according to Pipeline, the highlight of the position-by-position lists is Termarr Johnson heading the list of top second basemen. This year’s fourth overall prospect has played both shortstop and second base in his brief pro time. Many scouts believe that he will be a second baseman in the future, so his inclusion on this list instead of the shortstop list isn’t a surprise.
