While Ke’Bryan Hayes has years worth of buzz around him, don’t sleep on Hunter Owen. The 25 year old former 25th round pick has been one of the best hitting prospects in the Pirates’ farm system this year.
After leading the Bradenton Marauders in home runs (18) and RBI (60) in 2018, Owen got the call to AA to start the year in Altoona. He took off there, clubbing 15 homers with a .935 OPS in 268 plate appearances.
