Welcome to the Pirates Prospects daily video rundown, where we pull some of the top videos of the Pittsburgh Pirates across the internet.
Travis Swaggerty
The more games go on, the more obvious that at the very least, Travis Swaggerty should get an extended look to start the season. He’s playing strong defense, and continues to hit, despite that being the thing that usually gets held against him.
Travis Swaggerty continues his strong spring, picking up a pair of hits. He went hunting early too, seeing a total of three pitches to get the hits. Takes an off-speed the other way before turning on a fastball for the second hit. #Pirates pic.twitter.com/DqkaYcb1YS

He was aggressive at the plate on Tuesday, picking up two hits on three pitches seen, slapping an offspeed the other way before turning on a fastball and pulling it.
Endy Rodriguez
There aren’t too many more things that we can say about Endy Rodriguez that we haven’t already said. Despite only a handful of games in Triple-A last year, he’s already looking the part of a major leaguer.
There's a zoomed in view of Endy swinging. One of the many things I love about watching him play, look at the hands. So quiet, nearly no movement needed to get them in position to swing. He's every bit legit. #Pirates pic.twitter.com/mZCaqOHgt8

Canaan Smith-Njigba
He’s also had an impressive camp. There’s always been power in his swing, it’s just been a matter of getting some lift to maximize on it. There was no doubting this one he hit against the Twins.
