The minor league season is a little over a month old, with the Triple-A season extending a week longer than everyone else. By this point, a sample size has formed to identify some of the standout players at each level.
Fortunately for the Pirates and their MLB depth, they have been led by the best hitter and pitcher in the system both being in Triple-A. By this time next month, both of those players should be in Pittsburgh if they maintain this pace.
This week, rather than recapping the weekly top performers, I wanted to look at the best performers in the early start of the season in the Pirates’ system.
