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
Bligh Madris
It’s been quite the couple of days for Bligh Madris after getting called up to the majors. He collected three hits in his first major league game, and then followed that up on Tuesday by hitting his first home run.

Matt Gorski
The Matt Gorski show continues in Altoona, collecting two more hits and three more RBI. While he’s hit some baseballs really hard, sometimes it’s about where the ball goes, as opposed to how hard it was hit. Gorski blooped this double to open up the scoring.

He wasn’t done. Gorski eventually got thrown out in a run down, by extending it out, actually created an extra run. He was credited with two RBI on the single.

Ji-Hwan Bae
How far has Bae come since last season? After questioning whether he had the power to make it in the majors as a regular, he is now batting clean-up at the Triple-A level.
.@Bae_ji_hwan went down and got that one.
Oneil Cruz
When he gets ahold of the ball, no matter how little contact it looks like he got, the flies off the bat. This single traveled 111.8 mph off the bat.

Cruz has put up some crazy Statcast numbers, but you get the feeling we haven’t seen the best of him yet, at least when it comes to punishing the baseball.
