P2Daily: Cal Mitchell Establishing a Potential Path to the Majors
The first week of the Minor League season has passed for the Pirates’ farm teams, and there were some impressive performances to analyze. You had Ji-Hwan Bae showcasing speed and simple skills, Mason Martin showing off the power, Oneil Cruz casually hitting 116 MPH rockets, and then there was Cal Mitchell.
In his age 23 season, Mitchell isn’t talked about as much as the aforementioned names, but he put on a display during the first week of the season. Not known for his power, Mitchell will provide you around 10-15 home runs a year, but he blasted two already during the first five games. On top of that, Mitchell is slashing a .313/.333/.750 with an OPS of 1.083.
