Pittsburgh Pirates: A Young Dominican Prospect To Watch

The Pittsburgh Pirates are known for producing a lot of quality young prospects in their minor leagues. They have done this mainly through the MLB Amateur Draft. In Baseball America’s 2017 top ten list, eight of the Pittsburgh Pirates prospects were drafted by them. The other two are international signing Elias Diaz and trade acquisition Steven Brault. One place the Pittsburgh Pirates have seemed to struggle lately is producing Latin America hitters. Yes, there are stand out players like Starling Marte and Gregory Polanco, but outside of those two, there has not been many standout hitters from Latin America.
