Updated Top Ten Pittsburgh Pirates Prospects from Baseball America

Published:

On Wednesday morning, Baseball America posted their updated list of the top ten prospects for the Pittsburgh Pirates. This list includes the recent 2017 draft picks for the first time, with two of them debuting on the list. BA released their top 100 prospects list a couple weeks ago and had Mitch Keller (#15), Austin Meadows (#22) and Kevin Newman (#87) in their top 100.

The team list on Wednesday has the same order for the top three, followed by (in order) Shane Baz, Ke’Bryan Hayes, Steven Brault, Elias Diaz, Steven Jennings, Cole Tucker and Clay Holmes round out the top ten. The BA article also contains players on the rise/fall, as well and some notes on injured prospects and players who graduated from the list.

Our top 50 prospects list will be posted around noon today.

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.
