Pittsburgh Pirates: top 30 prospect stat update 6/14
This the sixth installment of the Pittsburgh Pirates Top 30 prospect update. The minor league season is well underway. The Bucs have graduated many prospects to the bigs this year already, so there are some new names on the list.
Below is a list of the Pittsburgh Pirates Top 30 prospects and their numbers so far this season. This article will give you an easy and accessible page to view a prospect’s roundup and how they are performing this year. The positional player’s stats will include their slash line (average, OBP, and slugging), RBIs, some will have home-runs if they are a power hitting prospects. Pitcher stats will include their win-loss record, ERA, and their strikeout to walk ratio on the season.
The list was created by myself and contributor David Slusser. We used a comprehensive statistical formula to create the list. Both formulas take into account most stats and judge how efficient a prospect has been in their careers and the 2016 season. Once the numbers were plugged into the formula, it resulted in a score that was then used to help make the order of the list. Also, other elements were taken into account, such as projectability, tools, and expectations. With that being said, here is the Rum Bunter’s Top 30 Pittsburgh Pirates Prospects and their stats on the year:
Note: Josh Bell, Tyler Glasnow, and Trevor Williams started the year on the Top 30 list. However, they have played enough games in the MLB to lose their prospect eligibility.

Next: Pirates Select Shane Baz
With the MLB Draft coming to a close, the Pittsburgh Pirates are adding a few new top prospects. Obviously, first-round pick Shane Baz will be the most highly rated of the bunch. These players will not be added to the list until they have officially signed with the Bucs. So far it has been reported that Baz and 6th round pick Cody Bolton have signed, but it has not been officially announced. So check back for info regarding the status of the draftees and where they will fall on this list.
