MLB Pipeline has been pumping out their Top 10 prospects at each position over the last couple of days, with their second base rankings dropping on Friday. It was the second position that the Pirates had multiple players on, joining catcher.
Termarr Johnson took home the honors of being ranked the top second base prospect in all of baseball, with Nick Gonzales coming in at number eight.
The rankings reaffirm one of the team’s strengths throughout the organization, at not only second base but the middle infield in general.
Two of the three first round picks made by Ben Cherington – both top 10 picks – have been players that project as second baseman, so it really shouldn’t be a surprise that they both ended up on the list.
