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

Termarr Johnson

It wasn’t the most ideal start to Termarr Johnson’s professional career, the fact that he went from a sub-.200 average to a .313 mark with Bradenton in just one game should tell you how small a sample size we’ve been working worth.

The fourth overall pick picked up three hits on the day, including this double to left center field.

It was an interesting day for Johnson, as you could make the case that neither of his next two hits should have happened. His next hit more than likely should have been called an error, and the outfielder lost track of the baseball when he hit his second double. In his defense, the error came off the bat at 105-mph, an impressive feat.

He did flash a little bit of the glove as well, making a good back-handed start, starting a double play.

Tsung-Che Cheng

It’s an interesting double play combination in Bradenton right now. Oneil Cruz stands a towering 6’7 ” playing shortstop at the major league level, with the middle infield for the Marauders are listed a foot shorter than that on their respective MiLB.com pages.

Regardless, they both came up big for their team Wednesday, with Cheng picking up a two-run double in the team’s win.

Cal Mitchell

Mitchell’s time in Pittsburgh will more than likely keep him from passing his 2019 home run totals, but it’s a mark he would have easily passed if he had stayed in Indianapolis the entire season with the pace he’s on.

The outfielder picked his ninth home run of the season for Indianapolis, and is posting impressive numbers at the Triple-A level this season.
