Updated Top 100 Prospects List from MLB Pipeline

Published:

MLB Pipeline updated their top 100 prospects list on Wednesday morning. The new list includes 2022 draft picks for the first time.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are led on the list by catcher Henry Davis, who ranks 20th overall. He is followed by Termarr Johnson in the 30th spot. Those two players are the first round picks of the Pirates in the last two years, with Davis taken first overall last year, and Johnson taken fourth overall this year.

Quinn Priester ranks third among Pirates and gives them three players among the top 50 prospects in the game. He ranks 47th in today’s update. Liover Peguero is fourth in the system and ranks 65th overall in baseball. Nick Gonzales just barely made it onto the list, getting ranked 99th overall. Including Priester and Gonzales, the Pirates have each of their last four (2019-22) top draft picks among top 100 prospects.

These ratings are much more favorable for the Pirates than the recent update from Baseball America, which had four Pirates on their list, starting with Johnson in the 46th spot. He was followed by Priester (69), Peguero (82) and Davis (86).

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.
