MLB Pipeline Has Four Pirates Among Their Top 100 Prospects

Published:

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.

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
