MLB Pipeline released their list of the top 100 prospects in baseball on Thursday night. They have four Pittsburgh Pirates on their list, all of them among the top 60 prospects in the game.
Pipeline’s list is headed by Termarr Johnson in the #26 spot on the list. The 2022 first round pick was recently ranked by Pipeline as the best second base prospect in baseball. Johnson recently ranked 31st overall by Baseball Prospectus and 49th overall by Baseball America.
Endy Rodriguez ranks second on the list for the Pirates, but the final three are all bunched up. He ranked 55th overall, while Henry Davis came in at 57th, and right-handed pitcher Quinn Priester ranked 60th overall. Rodriguez and Davis were just ranked fifth/sixth among catchers by Pipeline. This is the first time making the top 100 this year for Priester. He was named as one of 15 players who just missed the top 100 by Baseball America.
Rodriguez ranked 23rd by Baseball America, as the top prospect in the system. Baseball Prospectus had him in the same spot as Pipeline, 55th overall.
Davis ranked 73rd by BA and 46th by Prospectus, so his ranking on Pipeline is in the middle of both lists.
Luis Ortiz made the BA list in the 74th spot, but hasn’t placed in the two since.
We post six different top 100 lists each year. Once all of those have been released, we will post a final article averaging out all of the rankings.
