'Prepare like a champion:' Triolo recognized as Pirates' top minor-league defender

After the minor-league season was cancelled in 2020, the question was which prospects would be able to take advantage of the time away from organized ball and find ways to better themselves.

Jared Triolo was one such player.

“I think you see it in the emergence of guys like Matt Fraizer and Jared Triolo as, for me, are major-league prospects that I don’t know if there was a lot of talk about those two guys when I came over here,” director of player and coaching development John Baker told DK Pittsburgh Sports recently.
