Welcome to the Pirates Prospects daily video rundown, where we pull some of the top videos of the Pittsburgh Pirates across the internet.
Daily Video Rundown
Dylan Shockley
A former 34th-round draft pick in 2019, Dylan Shockley isn’t known for his offensive abilities. In the two games since being activated from the Developmental List, Shockley has gone just 1-for-7, with four strikeouts.
Not one, but TWO runners caught by @DylanShockley29 in the fourth inning. It's a tie ballgame entering the top of the fifth.

So, it’s his work with the glove that has allowed him to make an immediate impact with the Altoona Curve. The 25-year-old has thrown out three of the four would be base stealers in his brief bit of playing time.
Ji-Hwan Bae
If anyone has shown how much of a roller coaster the baseball season can be, it’s Ji-Hwan Bae. He started the season on a seven game hitting streak, before eventually going another five without one.
Bae followed that up with a five-hit performance on Friday before closing out the series with a home run on Sunday.
Ji-Hwan Bae is at it again folks! 3rd pitch of the game and he has another homer. @indyindians leads it 1-0 pic.twitter.com/PoSTeBq0F7

Bligh Madris
The outfielder hung around at big league camp for the majority of spring before ending back up at Indianapolis to begin the season.
In the 11 games he has played, Bligh Madris has posted a .243/.333/.324 line with three doubles and RBIs, including this hit from Sunday.

In his second professional season, Carmen Mlodzinski is looking to build some consistency. After a rough start to the season against Harrisburg, Mlodzinski finished out his next start against Richmond strong.
He wasn’t able to build off of that in his following start, walking five in 3 2/3 innings. Pitching twice this past week, Mlodzinski four innings of one-hit, shutout baseball. He took a step forward in finding that consistency this Sunday, despite allowing three runs (two earned), but only walked one and struck out seven.
