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 With The Bat
I wrote about the former first round pick and his push to try and make the roster out of Spring Training. It’s been a fairly good start for the outfielder, coming up with moments on both offense and defense.

Late in Wednesday’s game against the Detroit Tigers, Swaggerty delivered with a clutch three-run home run that tied the game.
Travis Swaggerty With The Glove
While he’s come up with some hits here and there, Swaggerty has really shown why he’s one of the better defensive outfielders in the system, and could fit in perfectly with Bryan Reynolds switching to left field.
After making a couple of long ranging catches earlier in the week, he makes a fantastic throw from the outfield to get a runner at home and end the inning.

There may not be a player in baseball who can make an opposite field home run look as effortless as Oneil Cruz can.
Quinn Priester Up Close
This is from earlier in the Spring, but a good look at Quinn Priester up close throwing a bullpen session. Really get an opportunity to see some of the break on his pitches.

Tucupita Marcano Strikeout
We’ve already seen, and felt the impact of the new pitch clock around the league as baseball looks to speed things up a bit. This may be one of the fastest strikeouts in baseball history.
