First Pitch: The Big Investment in Josh Bell is Paying Off For the Pirates

Going forward, I think we’re going to have to start naming the Pirates Prospects Player of the Year Award the “Josh Bell Award”. When I was asking around for the votes for the year-end awards, it didn’t even occur to me that Bell had won the previous two years. It should have occurred to me, as he was on the cover of the 2015 Prospect Guide, and if we kept going with either the pitcher or hitter of the year on the cover, he’d be entering his third year of cover eligibility. He’s now the Player of the Year for the third year in a row.
