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
Oneil Cruz
It seems almost impossible for Oneil Cruz to do anything normal. If he’s going to make a play, it’s going to be to the extreme. Whether it’s an 120 mph base hit, or his five RBI game on Sunday, the guy is a human highlight reel.
Have a day, @OneilCruz4.
He now has a career-high 5⃣ RBI! pic.twitter.com/eXnHigPHKm

Cruz hit his third home run of the season, and totaled five RBIs in Indianapolis’ win on Sunday. Before that he drove in two on this base hit past the second baseman.
Cruz finds a hole.
He also played in the outfield for consecutive days for the first time in his career, making this catch on the warning track.
Pretty nice catch by Oneil Cruz if you ask us, so please, ask us. pic.twitter.com/qgKkkH2vjf

Mason Martin
There’s a good chance if Martin gets a hit, it’s going for extra-bases. Of his 29 hits he has recorded this year, 19 of them have gone for extra-bases. He hit his fifth home run of the season on Sunday.
Martin got all of that one.
Andres Alvarez
The 25-year-old from Washington State continues to force his way into the lineup, as Alvarez his fourth home run of the season in Altoona’s loss. He also doubled among three total hits on the day.
.@and6alv continues to have himself a day, his 3rd hit is a 2-run blast!
