Welcome to the Pirates Prospects daily video rundown, where we pull some of the top videos of the Pittsburgh Pirates across the internet.
With the Indianapolis game postponed, Altoona was the only game that was live streamed so it’s going to be a heavy dose of the Curve. Not only is it heavy on the Curve, but also two familiar names that have been filling up the box scores.
Daily Video Rundown
Liover Peguero
The 21-year-old shortstop has been one of the best offensive players in the Eastern League, and one of the most consistent hitters in the Pirates’ system.
Yeah, so Liover Peguero is pretty good at this baseball thing. His third triple of the season brings home @Nick_Gonzales13 and ties the game 1-1! pic.twitter.com/yHYxxSp8Xw

Peguero picked up three more hits on Wednesday, putting him in a tie with Frankie Tostado for the EL lead in hits. The two RBIs moved him in a tie for fifth in the category.

Blake Sabol
If there has been one player just as consistently good as Peguero this year, it’s been Blake Sabol. The 24-year-old slugging catcher has posted a .940 OPS in 26 games this season. Just this week against Richmond Sabol has gone 6-for-7 with four extra-base hits and seven RBIs.
Another day, another @Blake_Sabol24 highlight! This RBI-single gives us a 2-1 lead in the first.

Sabol trails only Peguero in most offensive categories on the Curve this season, and is only behind Andres Alvarez in home runs.

Andres Alvarez
Alvarez hit his sixth home run of the season, now leading a team that has some of the system’s top prospects. He now has 17 hits on the season, 11 of which have gone for extra-bases.
