At this point, nearly all of the Pirates’ prospects are in minor league camp, so these are mostly guys who have real shots at making the team. I’m just going to list the roster status of each, most importantly options, of the guys who aren’t very clear locks. Remember that Blake Cederlind and Nick Mears are on the 60-dayday IL. For non-roster players, the number of options listed, obviously, is in the event they’re added to the roster.
The clear locks (11): David Bednar, Heath Hembree, Mitch Keller, Jose Quintana, Chris Stratton, Roberto Perez, Ke’Bryan Hayes, Yoshi Tsutsugo, Dan Vogelbach, Ben Gamel, Bryan Reynolds.
The rest:
Pitchers
Anthony Banda — no options
J.T. Brubaker — 2 options
Wil Crowe — 1 option
Aaron Fletcher — 2 options
Sam Howard — 2 options
Max Kranick — 2 options
Adonis Medina — 1 option
Luis Oviedo — 3 options
Dillon Peters — no options
Zach Thompson — 3 options
Duane Underwood, Jr. — no options
Bryce Wilson — 1 option

Austin Brice — non-roster, no options
Chase De Jong — non-roster, no options
Jerad Eickhoff — non-roster, no options
Eric Hanhold* — non-roster, 2 options
Beau Sulser — non-roster, 3 options
*I’m not clear whether Eric Hanhold is in major or minor league camp. He was outrighted to AAA, but that doesn’t say anything about where he is right now. He’s never been listed as reassigned, so I’m assuming he’s still in major league camp.

Taylor Davis — non-roster, 2 options
Michael Perez — non-roster, 2 options
Jamie Ritchie — non-roster, 3 options
Infielders
Diego Castillo — 3 options
