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
Endy Rodriguez
There isn’t much more we can say on Endy Rodriguez at this point, as he continues his absolute tear since being promoted to Double-A. In 18 games with Altoona has picked up 15 extra-base hits. He hit a pair of home runs on Thursday, from both the left and right side of the plate.

Wyatt Hendrie
The Marauders had to scratch and claw their way back to win their fourth straight game on a Wyatt Hendrie walk-off home run. They are now back in a tie for first place of the FSL West division with the Dunedin Blue Jays. The home run was his fourth of the season.

Travis Swaggerty
Swaggerty picked up a key hit in the seventh inning for Indianapolis, tying the game with this single.
Clutch.
Nick Gonzales
Gonzales picked up his third game of at least three hits since returning from injury. Among those three hits was this double that drove in a run, tying the game.

Sergio Campana
Campana continues to hit the ball hard when he does make contact with the bat. He hit his seventh home run of the season for Bradenton.

Jack Brannigan
Brannigan continues to make spectacular plays in the field, making his case a position player going into next year when they should start incorporating him onto the mound.

Termarr Johnson
Johnson entered this week with a batting average below the Mendoza line. Now, the 2022 first round pick is batting .368 and has picked up three doubles in the last two days.
Here’s Termarr’s double. Really got a hold of that #LetsGoBucs pic.twitter.com/gAtpVapMGr

Ricky DeVito
DeVito has been getting a chance to start the last couple of weeks, actually pitching a little since then. Tim Williams got an up close look at him on Thursday, where DeVito struck out eight batters in four innings pitched. Here is one of the eight strikeouts.
Nasty stuff here from Ricky DeVito, getting a strikeout looking to end the second inning. #Pirates pic.twitter.com/LXaF6Nx0X5

He also picked up on misstep in DeVito’s delivery, as his landing foot doesn’t come down steady. It led to him slipping a few times. Getting that sured up could help him fix his control issues he’s had. After Thursday’s start, DeVito has walked 41 batters in 67 innings pitched. The stuff has remained there, however, as he has also struck out 87 batters in that time.
DeVito doesn't have a steady landing foot. The third pitch of this video is the second time I've seen him slip and lose his balance today. This doesn't help his control. 40 walks in 63 innings heading into today's game. #Pirates pic.twitter.com/QiV90nXfma
