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
Aaron Shortridge
We saw Cody Bolton make his first regular season appearance since 2019, now on Tuesday another pitcher made his return to the mound. Aaron Shortridge was the Pirates fourth round pick back in 2018, but Tommy John surgery forced him to miss the 2021 season.
The 25-year-old righty pitched for the first time since that 2019 season, going three innings, allowing three hits and striking out a batter.
In 2019 while pitching for Bradenton, Shortridge went 9-5 with a 3.25 ERA, striking out 104 in 135 2/3 innings while walking just 25.
Rodolfo Castro
Castro made quite the statement in his first game back in Indianapolis, hitting a baseball 461 feet for his third home run at Triple-A.

Mason Martin
It was a rough month of May for Martin, who batted just .189 but also hit seven home runs. He hasn’t started June off great but one thing has remained, when he does make contract, Martin hits it hard.

Before scoring on that Martin double above, Bae singled home Oneil Cruz. The RBI was Bae’s 26th of the season, and he was able to pick up a couple of hits in the contest.
Rodolfo Nolasco
Nolasco has been hitting the ball hard all season, it was just a matter of making more consistent contact. He stepped into this one, recording a RBI triple to open up the scoring.
