Pittsburgh Pirates: Three Prospects to Watch at Florida Complex League

The Florida Complex League has been underway for over a month now. So let’s take a look at a few prospects who are doing well with the Pittsburgh Pirates two affiliates.

While for Low-A on up the minor league season has been in full swing since early May, the Florida Complex League only started a few weeks ago. Every team has completed about 25-30 games. Though the Pittsburgh Pirates have two Florida Complex League teams. The FCL Pirates Black and FCL Pirates Gold.

The Pittsburgh Pirates Black have played 25 games while their Gold squad have played 24 contests. Between the two affiliates, the Gold affiliate has done better with a 16-8 record to an 11-14 record. The two FCL teams have some noteworthy prospects between them.

Today we will highlight a few prospects from these two teams who are playing well. Most players at this level are very young, so most aren’t very high-ranking prospects. But in many cases, they really haven’t played much, been given a chance to prove themselves or show off what they can do. All the players I will be talking about today are 20-years-old or younger.

With some context out of the way, let’s take a look at the first player we’ll be highlighting today.
