Pirates Prospects Daily: The Current Strengths Of The Pirates System

The Pittsburgh Pirates have spent the last few seasons under Ben Cherington collecting as much depth in the minors as possible, hoping to build from the bottom into a contender once again.

During the 2022 season we saw a lot of the first wave of prospects start crashing into the major league level, highlighted by Oneil Cruz, among others. With quite a few graduations, the farm system maybe isn’t as strong as it was last offseason, but it is still ranked among the better in baseball.

Highlighted by two catchers — Endy Rodriguez and former first overall pick Henry Davis (pictured above by Pirates Prospects photographer David Hague) — the Pirates have numerous prospects in most top prospects lists on just about every outlet.
