Pittsburgh Pirates Prospect Roundup: 6/15-6/22

Once a week there will be a Pittsburgh Pirates Prospects roundup on the minor leaguers in the Pirate’s farm system and their stats. It is June and the stat sheets are starting to look the way they should for these players:

These articles will show the prospect’s main stats for the season thus far.  This will give an easy and accessible page to view a prospect’s roundup and how they are doing on the year. Hitter stats will include batting average, RBIs, and OPS, some will have home-runs if they are supposed to be power hitting prospects.  Pitcher stats will include record, ERA, and their strike outs to walks on the season.

Some of the site contributors got to together and created this list after putting together a formula that consists of a number of stats, intangibles, and watching film on them. Their stats are based on their previous season performance and their career lines.  With that stats make up the bulk of how they are rated. Through this we put the prospects in a tiered system, but for these updates it will be easier to use the traditional 1-30 rankings.  Eventually the newly drafted prospects will be added.  The cut off for drafted prospects to sign is July 15th, so once all players have signed or have not, they will be added to the list.  Here is this weeks prospects roundup:
