The Pittsburgh Pirates new Front Office has made it clear that they want to focus on developing their young arms. Altoona has a couple of pitchers breaking out.

Last year, many prospects did not have an opportunity to play in any sort of official game. So from a fan’s perspective, it was disappointing. The Pittsburgh Pirates are a rebuilding team with a lot of new faces. To lose last year’s minor league season was tough for fans who are trying to be optimistic about this team’s future.

While we still received a lot of reports and updates on the team’s top prospects, some of the lesser-known players never got a chance to show what they could do.
