MLB.com Raves Over Pirates Triple-A Affiliate Talent

Triple-A Indianapolis has plenty of arms

The Pittsburgh Pirates have plenty of talent coming up in the minor leagues and MLB.com featured one affiliate within the system to spotlight.

MLB Pipeline writers Jonathan Mayo, Jim Callis and Sam Dykstra highlighted the talent on the roster for the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians.

“Bubba Chandler (MLB No. 14) is reason enough to pick Indy as he’s one of the most exciting pitching prospects in all of baseball and should reach Pittsburgh soon enough,” MLB Pipeline wrote. “Nick Yorke and Braxton Ashcraft give the Triple-A roster three of the organization’s top six prospects and there are currently five in the top 20 in Indianapolis.”

Chandler leads the group forward with the chance to join Paul Skenes in the Pirates rotation this season.
