The 2023 season may have marked a turning point in this Pirates rebuild. The team improved from a 62-win 2022 to a near .500 mark in 2023, winning 76 games and spending 27 days in 1st place, as late as June 15th. Pirates fans also finally got to see some of their premier prospect talent in Pittsburgh, as the team promoted Endy Rodriguez, Henry Davis, Nick Gonzales (still prospect eligible and on this list), Quinn Priester, and Liover Peguero during the season. That\u2019s fix of our top six prospects from last year\u2019s pre-season top 50!<\/p>\n

Building off that exciting 2023 season, more reinforcements are on the way. Critically, the Pirates system is flush with young arms who are knocking on the door. The big league club acquired a few veteran stopgaps in Mart\u00edn P\u00e9rez and Marco Gonzales, and Bailey Falter has shown occasional flashes, but this rotation needs some oomph. Seven of our top ten Pirates prospects are pitchers, and of those, four have already hit Double-A. By the time we get around to our mid-season updates, I expect the Pirates rotation will look considerably different than it does right now on paper.<\/p>\n

Oh, and they\u2019re getting Oneil Cruz back! Pirates fans have a lot to be excited about this year, with a solid young position player nucleus, and some electric arms on the horizon. (@ATXRainDog)<\/p>\n
