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
Blake Sabol
The catcher hit his first home run since being promoted to Triple-A Indianapolis. It was his 15th overall of the season going back to his time in Altoona. The three-run home run was part of a five-run first inning for the Indians.

Luis Peralta
The lefty spent some time on the Development List this season trying to work on his control. He had been going through a streak where it looked like it worked, but those issues are starting to surface once again. Peralta walked five batters in 3 2/3 innings on Friday.

The stuff is still there, as he broke off this great back-door breaking ball for a called strike three, one of two strikeouts he recorded on the night.
Endy Rodriguez
Another night, another couple of Rodriguez highlights. He is now 19 games into his Double-A career and has picked up a hit in each of them. His home run in the first inning gave him eight since joining Altoona.

He’s also been fantastic defensively, throwing out eight of the 18 potential base stealers since the promotion (44%).

Termarr Johnson
The Pirates 2022 first round pick recorded another hit Friday, going 1-for-4. His most impressive mark wasn’t from the hit, it was from a fly out he recorded earlier in the game.
Even getting out, a lot to like from this at bat from Termarr Johnson. Incredible ability to get bat on ball. Even squares up that curveball he fouls off on the check swing #LetsGoBucs pic.twitter.com/7bV5ZgTRBt

Johnson worked the count full before flying out. He against showed a great approach at the plate, and has showed the ability to barrel up the fastball anywhere in strike zone. Not surprising for a player where most outlets rated his hit tool a ’70’.
Jake Sweeney

Sweeney recently returned to the Marauders lineup after missing some time with an injury. He picked up this strikeout in his most recent relief appearance on Friday.
Aaron Shackelford
Shackelford picked up his 25th home run of the season for the Curve, an absolute no-doubter.
