Welcome to the Pirates Prospects daily video rundown, where we pull some of the top videos of the Pittsburgh Pirates across the internet.
Oneil Cruz
Cruz has had a good start to the spring, picking up nine hits, four of which have gone for extra bases. He’s also done fairly well making contact, only striking out five times in 31 plate appearances.
Here's a RBI single by Oneil Cruz the other day. Could be huge year for him this season if he's able to make consistent contact. #Pirates pic.twitter.com/2i0RwgB2GQ

He picked up a RBI single against the Baltimore Orioles the other day.
Connor Joe
Joe has played well, especially as of late. He’s picked up four doubles, two of which came on Wednesday. He’s also picked up three stolen bases, all within the last week.
Connor Joe has been picking up some steam lately. He picked up three hits, two doubles, and a stolen base against the Toronto Blue Jays. #Pirates pic.twitter.com/bs8D3UGAIj

He went 3-for-3 the other day against the Blue Jays.
Angel Perdomo
Unfortunately it looks like Jarlin Garcia is going to be out for a while, so the Pirates may need to look at another option if they want to go with two lefties out of the bullpen.
With Jarlin Garcia looking like he's going to miss quite a bit of time, Angel Perdomo is one of those names fighting for a bullpen spot as a second lefty behind Jose Hernandez. He's had his ups and downs this spring, but certainly an intriguing player. #Pirates pic.twitter.com/BjjuZDZK2t

One option would be Angel Perdomo. He’s had his ups and downs this spring, giving up some big hits, but he has also shown the ability to miss bats.
