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
Shalin Polanco
At barely 18-years-old, Shalin Polanco is the youngest player on the Pirates FCL team, but has certainly shown some of those flashes that made him such a highly coveted international free agent. He’s not off to a terrible start, especially when considering his age, slashing .240/.321/.440 in six games, he also has a home run and two doubles. Friday he made this fantastic catch in the outfield, showing off his speed.

Travis MacGregor
After a horrible month of April to start the season, MacGregor has been one of the better pitchers on the Altoona pitching staff. After pitching 3 1/3 innings of shut out baseball on Friday, MacGregor has lowered his ERA to 1.83 since May began. Friday night he struck out five innings in relief.
Four outs, Four strikeouts for @travismac_15!
Matt Fraizer
Fraizer is still struggling to get things going this year (.211/.256/.347), but still was able to come up with this clutch, two-run single that tied the game before the offense was able to explode.

On a team that has some of the top hitting prospects in the system, it’s Aaron Shackelford that leads Altoona in home runs after hitting two more on Friday, his 10th and 11th of the season.
