Welcome to the Pirates Prospects daily video rundown, where we pull some of the top videos of the Pittsburgh Pirates across the internet.
Nick Gonzales
The former first round pick in 2020 has come up with some big hits over the first weekend of the season, and on Sunday launched his first home run of the season.

Not only did he pitch in offensively, but he made quite a few strong plays with the glove as well. Gonzales has slowly expanded his defensive versatility, going from second to short before eventually playing third in the Arizona Fall League. Sunday he played in his first minor league game at the position.

Tucupita Marcano
Speaking of defensive versatility, Marcano has moved all over the infield, starting at shortstop on Sunday.

Chavez Young
The outfielder made a name for himself in the World Baseball Classic. He returned to Pirates camp, before being assigned to minor league camp a short time later. He picked up a big two-run triple on Sunday.
