Welcome to the Pirates Prospects daily video rundown, where we pull some of the top videos of the Pittsburgh Pirates across the internet.
Daily Video Rundown
Tucupita Marcano
Acquired in the Adam Frazier trade, Tucupita Marcano has had anything but a normal developmental path. He was pushed to the majors faster than he should have out of necessity for the San Diego Padres before getting sent back to Triple-A.
After playing with Indianapolis after the trade, Marcano got the more age appropriate assignment of Double-A. Recently he’s played a lot better collecting hits in six of his last seven games, including his first home run of the season Friday night.
Tucupita Marcano smacks a solo shot to give us a 1-0 lead in the second!

Blake Sabol
The Altoona bats have really been thumping as of late, and Blake Sabol was in the middle of things once again, notching a RBI triple to further pad their lead late in the game.
Sabol now has extra-base hits in three of his last four games.
Oneil Cruz
To say that it that it hasn’t been the most ideal of starts to the season for Oneil Cruz is as an understatement as you can make.
At this point you are really looking for anything to snap you out of it at this point. While he has yet to hit a home run on the season, Cruz snapped a three game hitless streak with a two-hit effort on Friday. It included this RBI single in the fifth inning.
Anything at this point to try and get Oneil Cruz to break out his slump. RBI single here one of two hits for him on the night #LetsGoBucs pic.twitter.com/Ej1WagnDXC

Aaron Shackelford
Another day, another Aaron Shackelford bomb as the lefty stays on his surprising hot streak to start the season. Shackelford has a hit in each game he has played in this season, seven in total, hitting his second home run on the season on Friday.

Want to talk about staying hot? Jack Suwinski extended his hitting streak to seven games now. He’s even gotten multiple hits in three straight, with this bloop single extending that streak.
