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
Henry Davis
It was quite the weekend for former first overall pick Henry Davis. The catcher went a combined 6-for-12 the last three games of the series, with three doubles and a home run.
He recorded at least two hits and a double in each of the games, and on Sunday he paired that with his second home run at the Double-A level.
Hammerin' Henry has given us the lead in the ninth!! Two runs come across on this @henrydavis32 double to left and we lead it 8-6!

Matt Gorski
If there was any doubt about if the home run power we saw at Greensboro was a result of his environment, Matt Gorski is quickly proving otherwise. He picked up his sixth home run in 28 games with Altoona, hitting a three-run shot on Sunday.
No. 23 on the year for @matthew_gorski7 is a no doubter! We lead it 5-3 in the fifth inning!

Aaron Shackelford
Shackelford continues to rake, hitting his 12th home run of the season. He’s moved two ahead of Andres Alvarez for the team lead on Altoona.

Mason Martin and Travis Swaggerty Home Runs
It’s been a very rough stretch for Mason Martin. He batted under the Mendoza Line for the month of May, but still hit for power when he made contact. June has been completely different, with the lefty slashing .118/.187/.191 and most of that slugging percentage was added on Sunday.
Martin hit his first home run since May 29th. He has 12 now on the season.
.@masonmartin7 and @TSwaggerty_21 flexed late to give us a little breathing room.
Travis Swaggerty continues to flash the power many wondered if he’d be able to hit for. The outfielder hit his sixth home run for Indianapolis this season and has an OPS just north of .800.
