Welcome to the Pirates Prospects daily video rundown, where we pull some of the top videos of the Pittsburgh Pirates across the internet.
Quinn Priester
There was no broadcast of Friday night’s game, so video was limited, but we did catch a glimpse of Quinn Priester warming up before his inning of work. It was his first Spring Training appearance of the year, allowing one hit and one walk.

Henry Davis
Stop if you have heard this one before, Henry Davis steps into a batters box and gets hit by a pitch.

Draft Prospects Shine
The Pittsburgh Pirates hold the first overall pick in the upcoming 2023 draft, meaning they have their choice of any player available. There will be quite a few names that will be in the mix, and three of them put on a show Friday night.
The fairytale ends for Cole Graverson. Dylan Crews nukes an 80 mph fastball over the RCF fence for a 3-run bomb. The margin for error eventually did him in against arguably the best hitter in the country. pic.twitter.com/Znq7fVOBH7

Dylan Crews has been long projected as the potential number one pick in 2023 ever since walking onto campus at LSU. He picked up another home run, and is off to a strong start to the season.
His teammate and Air Force academy transfer Paul Skenes is making a case as the top pitcher available, striking out a career high 13 batters against Butler. He had numerous fastballs to hit triple-digits on the night as well.

Wyatt Langford is another name emerging, hitting two home runs on Friday, including this one with a 112 mph exit velocity.
