Welcome to the Pirates Prospects daily video rundown, where we pull some of the top videos of the Pittsburgh Pirates across the internet.
Travis Swaggerty
The former first round pick back in 2018 continues to tear the cover off of the ball this spring, hitting the first pitch he saw on Saturday for his third home run of spring.

The home run traveled 439 feet, with an exit velocity of 106.6 mph, and had an expected batting average of 1.000.
Austin Hedges
Not really known for his offense, Hedges has been one of the best defensive catchers in the game the past few years. He flashed some of that ability behind the plate, throwing out a would be base stealer on Saturday.
Keller gets an assist from Austin Hedges, who throws out Matt Wallner trying to steal second base. Keller allowed a long solo home run to Trevor Larnach on a middle-middle sinker, but limits the damage to one run. pic.twitter.com/PsRXDe7lcM

Oneil Cruz
Just about everything Cruz does is loud, another example is this 94.8 mph laser to first by the shortstop.
