Pirates DVR: Blake Sabol Home Run, Luis Peralta Strikeout, Endy Rodriguez

Welcome to the Pirates Prospects daily video rundown, where we pull some of the top videos of the Pittsburgh Pirates across the internet.

Daily Video Rundown

Blake Sabol

The catcher hit his first home run since being promoted to Triple-A Indianapolis. It was his 15th overall of the season going back to his time in Altoona. The three-run home run was part of a five-run first inning for the Indians.

Luis Peralta

The lefty spent some time on the Development List this season trying to work on his control. He had been going through a streak where it looked like it worked, but those issues are starting to surface once again. Peralta walked five batters in 3 2/3 innings on Friday.

The stuff is still there, as he broke off this great back-door breaking ball for a called strike three, one of two strikeouts he recorded on the night.

Endy Rodriguez

Another night, another couple of Rodriguez highlights. He is now 19 games into his Double-A career and has picked up a hit in each of them. His home run in the first inning gave him eight since joining Altoona.

He’s also been fantastic defensively, throwing out eight of the 18 potential base stealers since the promotion (44%).
