The former number one prospect in the Pirates organization and mainstay on MLB’s Top-100 prospects list since he was drafted, Austin Meadows will look to live up to his expectations in 2019 as the starting right fielder for the Tampa Bay Rays.
Meadows, 23, drafted 9th overall by the Pirates in the 2013 draft, was viewed as not only one of the best players in the draft, but the best overall athlete. Often overlooked as one of the top prospects in baseball prior to making his major league debut for the Pirates earlier this year in May, it has always been clear that Meadows possesses elite tools.
