Pittsburgh Pirates: Final Prospect Roundup

Once a week there will be a Pittsburgh Pirates Prospect roundup on the minor leaguers in the Pirate’s farm system and their stats. It is September and the minor league seasons are over.  This will be the final Prospect Roundup of the year.

These articles contain the top 30 prospect’s for the Pittsburgh Pirates and their main stats for the season thus far.  This will give you an easy and accessible page to view a prospect’s roundup and how they are doing on the year. The hitter stats will include batting average, RBIs, and OPS, some will have home-runs if they are suppose to be power hitting prospects.  Pitcher stats will include  their win-loss record, ERA, and their strike outs to walks on the season.

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. The stats that were used were based on their previous season performance and their career  stat lines.  With that being said, stats make up the bulk of how they are rated. Through this we put the Pittsburgh Pirates prospects in a tiered system, but for these updates it will be easier to use the traditional 1-30 rankings:

Due to trades, former Pittsburgh Pirates prospects Reese McGuire and Harold Ramirez were removed; because of that, Taylor Hearn and Dovydas Neverauskas were added.  Jordan Luplow and Max Moroff were lowered to accommodate the two new adds.  Being that this is the last prospect round-up, Stephen Tarpley will not be replaced on the list.
