Welcome to the Pirates Prospects daily video rundown, where we pull some of the top videos of the Pittsburgh Pirates across the internet.
Malcom Nunez
Acquired in the Jose Quintana trade, Nunez showed a great approach at the plate in his early time with the Pirates, along with some power.

Thought of as a first base/DH only prospect, he played some third base last year, even making a couple of strong stops and able to start a few double plays while there. He’s still working out there right now in Spring, and could factor into the third base rotation in Indianapolis to start the season.
Baseball people tell me that PITT corner prospect Malcolm Nuñez has good glove game. Now that I get to see it for myself, they’re right! Nuñny can pick it! #defense pic.twitter.com/yivRKRiiBB

Shalin Polanco
The Pirates gave Polanco one of the biggest signing bonuses for an International prospect in their franchise’s history. Still just 19-years-old (had a birthday early in February), he is still very raw and should finally get a crack at Bradenton this year.

This video is a little bit of a doubleheader worth of information. It starts off with a look at Contreras in his bullpen session from Saturday. It also shows Chase De Jong facing Endy Rodriguez in live BP.
