The strength of this Pittsburgh Pirates team is clearly on the pitching side. The top prospects in the system are pitchers. The depth of the system is mostly pitching. The sleepers in the system are even pitchers.
This past week was the first full week of games for all of the minor league affiliates. It is no surprise that the pitching led the way. It wasn’t just top prospect Paul Skenes, or fellow top 100 prospect Bubba Chandler. The Pirates got results from sleepers in A-ball who fall in the bottom half or outside of the top 30.
