Prospect Oliva named to All-AFL team

Pirates prospect Jared Oliva was named to the All-Arizona Fall League team Wednesday.

Olivia slashed .312/.413/.473 in 26 games and lead the league in doubles (11) and stolen bases (11). He also finished second in hits (29), walks (14) and runs scored (18). He is currently ranked as the club's 11th best prospect, according to MLB Pipeline.

Olivia, 23, had a slow start to his 2019 season after making the jump to Double-A Altoona but caught fire midseason and was named team MVP. That was thanks in large part to work he did with hitting coach Jon Nunnally.
