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
With one of the easiest swings in baseball, it seems like Oneil Cruz just flicks his wrist and can put it into deep left center, which is what he did on Saturday.

Cruz hit a bases clearing triple in Indianapolis’ big win on Saturday against Columbus. It was his third triple of the season, and he is now up to 33 RBI.
Dariel Lopez

Lopez has struggled this year, owning just a .214 average, and striking out 31.3% of the time. He has been able to showcase some of that power he displayed in Bradenton, however, and with Matt Gorski in Altoona Lopez leads the Grasshoppers in home runs.
Josh Bissonette
While he doesn’t do much offensively (.241/.380/.259), he certainly makes it up with the glove. Bissonette flashes that a bit here playing third base for the Indians.

Aaron Shackelford
He’s another regular on here, as Aaron Shackelford had himself quite the game on Saturday. Shackelford went 2-for-4 with not only his ninth home run of the season, but also his first triple.
It's a splash bomb for Aaron Shackelford! His team-leading ninth homer of the season finds the pool in right field and we lead it 2-1!

The triple scored a pair of runners, pushing Altoona’s lead out even further.

Andres Alvarez
Alvarez continues to destroy the ball, especially when he leads of an inning, owning a 1.372 OPS in those situations. He hit his 10th home run of the season leading off the eighth inning.

Liover Peguero
Nothing like a three-hit night to snap Peguero out the slump he’s been in, which also included his fifth home run of the season.
