Pirates Place Five in MLB Pipeline Top 100 Prospects

Published:

MLB Pipeline unveiled their top 100 prospects tonight on their website, with the top 50 being announced on MLB Network live. Full results can be found at the bottom of this article. For a refresher, here are their top tens by position from the last two weeks:

Catchers- Elias Diaz and Reese McGuire

Right-Handed Pitchers: Tyler Glasnow

Outfielders: Austin Meadows

Second Basemen: Alen Hanson

First Basemen: Josh Bell

Third Basemen: Ke’Bryan Hayes

Here is last year’s top 100 list from MLB Pipeline when they had seven representatives from the Pirates.

If you want to follow along with Austin Meadows, he will be live tweeting during the show.

Baseball Prospectus released their top 101 today. For comparison with the upcoming MLB Pipeline list, here’s the BP list:

11. Tyler Glasnow

22. Austin Meadows

49. Josh Bell

51. Jameson Taillon

76. Reese McGuire

80. Harold Ramirez

This article will be updated as the Pirates on the list are announced.

9:05 PM: Reese McGuire ranked #98, the only Pirate in the 76-100 range. Jameson Taillon ranked 54th, giving the Pirates two in the 51-100 range.

Josh Bell came in 49th, same spot as the BP list. That means that the Pirates will have five players on the list as it’s highly unlikely anyone else except Austin Meadows and Tyler Glasnow will be in the top 40.

9:25 PM: Austin Meadows is #20, so this list has a lot of similarities with BP earlier. Between Meadows, Taillon and Bell, they are a total of five spots apart. Glasnow will probably be very close to #11 as well.

9:35 PM: The final tally is in and the Pirates have five players:

#10 Glasnow

#20 Meadows

#49 Bell

#54 Taillon

#98 McGuire

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
