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
Jason Delay
The 27-year-old catcher has never really been known for his offense, so it’s been a welcome surprise to see his success at the plate since being called up to the majors. Friday night he hit his first major league home run, and has an .861 OPS in 13 games with the Pirates.

Fabricio Macias
Macias was really starting to find his stroke heading into the break, and picked things right back up where he left it on Friday. With his bases clearing double against Harrisburg, Macias has back-to-back games with three RBI. He has eight total on the month and is slugging .476 in July.
Three runs cross on this bases-clearing double from Fabricio Macias! We trail by one entering the bottom of the eighth!

Jack Suwinski
The Pirates haven’t been shy about sending players straight to the majors with little, if any, time at Triple-A. They did so with Rodolfo Castro last year, and did so with Suwinski recently. A recent slump had the team send him back to the minors, but Suwinski showed why he was leading the NL in home runs, launching two on Friday.
433 ft. I guess that's why they call him Jack.
Here’s a look at the second one.
This new guy could win our Indianapolis Rookie of the Year Award.
Probably won’t be too long till he is back in Pittsburgh.
Aaron Shackelford
Shackelford continues to string together his success 2022 season, launching his team leading 16th home run for Altoona.
Shack Attack strikes again! Home run No. 16 of the season for Aaron Shackelford ties the game!

Andres Alvarez
Hot on his trail has been Andres Alvarez, who is also surprising a lot of people with his display of power. He hit his 14th home run of the season on Friday against Harrisburg.
Certified Slugger @and6alv just mashed his 14th home run of the season to make it a 5-2 game in the sixth!
