The Pirates’ Strategy Of Developing Positional Flexibility in the Minors

ALTOONA -- Josh Harrison and Brock Holt are two names that have been thrown around quite often in the Altoona press box and clubhouse by players, coaches, and media members. Not only did both players provide a jolt offensively in the minors and majors alike, they also gave the Pirates’ organization positional flexibility.

Looking at their times between Double-A and Triple-A, both players found the field every night, but in different positions through the years. Harrison split time between second and third while playing for the Curve in 2010, then he went to the AFL and played second, third, and left field.
