MLB Pipeline updated their list of the top 30 Pittsburgh Pirates prospects on Wednesday morning.
We already knew the top four from this list in order, as Pipeline had Termarr Johnson, Endy Rodriguez, Henry Davis and Quinn Priester all among the top 60 prospects in baseball. The rest of the top ten in order is: Nick Gonzales, Liover Peguero, Bubba Chandler, Luis Ortiz, Mike Burrows and Anthony Solometo.
You can check the rest of the list in the link above (be sure the year up top says 2023). As for some rankings of note:
New international signing Jun-Seok Shim ranks 26th for Pipeline. He’s one spot ahead of Shalin Polanco, the top signing from two international classes ago, and three spots ahead of Yordany De Los Santos, the top signing from the previous international class.
Besides Johnson, other 2022 draft picks ranked are: Thomas Harrington (12th), Hunter Barco (15th) and Michael Kennedy (21st).
The breakdown of the top 30 includes 17 draft picks, seven international signings and six players acquired via trades.
It’s interesting to me that Pipeline has Malcom Nunez 16th, Matt Gorski 17th and Jared Triolo 17th, after the Pirates protected Triolo from the Rule 5 draft, but left Nunez and Gorski available.
