Morning Report: Updated Stats for the Top 30 Pirates Prospects

Published:

As Tim Williams mentioned in the Site Updates article from Thursday, we are still waiting for the daily stats to work in the Prospect Watch for the top 30 players. We have been mentioning each player in the game recaps and the boxscores have been working the entire time, so we have been trying to do a good job of making up for the stats missing while we wait for it to be fixed. That being said, how about stats for each of the top 30 prospects, who aren’t rehabbing injuries (Nick Kingham and Barrett Barnes) or in Extended Spring Training (Braeden Ogle, Max Kranick and Travis MacGregor).

Here are the remaining 25 players with one slight change. I took out Jose Osuna, who we are leaving on the list until Monday just to make sure he sticks with the Pirates. In his place, I’ve included Indianapolis reliever Pat Light, who will take over the 30th spot from Osuna if he sticks.

THIS DATE IN PIRATES HISTORY

Four former Pittsburgh Pirates players born on this date, with three of them playing during this century. Kip Wells, Ronnie Paulino and Jack Taschner all put in time during the down years between playoff appearances. The one player that didn’t play during this current era is shortstop Stan Rojek, who was a member of the Pirates from 1948 until 1951. Rojek didn’t have a career that stands out in the majors, but he did serve during WWII, missing three years of his playing career in the process.

Speaking of Rojek, the first year he served in the military was 1943 and that year was the only time the Pirates opened up a season on April 21st. Like every other team in baseball, the Pirates has players leave to serve in the military. The club was still strong enough that season to finish with an 80-74 record. On Opening Day, Pittsburgh won 6-0 in Chicago with Rip Sewell on the mound. He pitched a complete game and Vince DiMaggio drove in two runs. You can see the boxscore here.

On this date in 1916, the Pirates lost an appeal from a day earlier, but it brought about a rule change from the league. Runner Doc Johnston was called out at third base when he was touched by third base coach Jimmy Callahan, even though the ball wasn’t in play at the time. The league announced the next day that umpires will no longer call players out for making contact with the coach unless it directly helps them in anyway, such as a coach pushing them back/towards the next base.

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.
