Welcome to the Pirates Prospects daily video rundown, where we pull some of the top videos of the Pittsburgh Pirates across the internet.
Endy Rodriguez
The catcher has picked up right where he left off last season during his breakout year. He picked up this double in the ninth inning on Thursday against the Detroit Tigers.
A look at Endy Rodriguez's double from today. He's so good. Ideally he takes that changeup the other way, but not going to argue with the results. #Pirates pic.twitter.com/3n0lk5bbUg

He’s able to take this 1-2 changeup down the first base line for the extra-base hit.
Drew Maggi
Originally drafted in 2010, Maggi has never appeared in a major league regular season game. He’s doing whatever he can to put himself in position to win a roster spot with his performance this spring.

Where others have struggled, Maggi picked up his second home run of the spring, this one a three run shot in the ninth inning.
Carmen Mlodzinski
The righty has been one of the more welcome surprises in major league camp this year. He’s yet to allow a hit in three appearances, spanning four innings.
Tucupita Marcano
It’s been a rough start to the spring for Marcano, but he picks up a pair of hits on Thursday, including this RBI double.

Anthony began writing over 10 years ago, starting a personal blog to cover the 2011 MLB draft, where the Pirates selected first overall. After bouncing around many websites covering hockey, he refocused his attention to baseball, his first love when it comes to sports. He eventually found himself here at Pirates Prospects in late 2021, where he covers the team’s four full season minor league affiliates.
Drew “the Wiseman Maggi” think about it.
I can smell the frankincense & myrrh! You’re gold, Scammer!
I think I can happily become a member of the Mlod Squad. Definitely think he can be a really good bullpen arm, with a non-zero chance of forcing his way into the rotation.
