Average Rankings

Only three Pirates made every list this year, so it would be tough to average out the other three players who made at least one list. Quinn Priester would rate the best from that group. He got three mentions up top, as well as a “just missed” player from Baseball America and ESPN. Luis Ortiz made two lists, while Bubba Chandler made the one, though he also got an honorable mention on another.

As for the top three prospects on all six lists, their average rankings:

Termarr Johnson – 28.2

Endy Rodriguez – 38.5

Henry Davis – 52

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.
