The West Virginia Power have been home to some of the biggest breakout prospects over the years. Gregory Polanco, Tyler Glasnow, and Mitch Keller were some of the players who made the jump to top prospect status during their time in West Virginia. The Pirates have also seen smaller scale success stories in West Virginia, with breakouts like JaCoby Jones and other players who wouldn't crack a top 100, but could and have reached the majors.
This year's team had the breakout players, but didn't have the impact. The breakouts of Eduardo Vera and Oddy Nunez were more of the smaller scale variety.
