2025 Top Prospects
#27 2B/SS/CF Termarr Johnson 20yo (AA) - The former 1st round pick is still on track to be a contributor at the MLB level but with much less hype. Still projected to be a solid bat to ball hitter with average pop and ability to steal. At his peak 20/20 isn’t unreasonable and he will be a versatile enough defender that we can get his bat in the lineup somewhere. Did get moved to CF this spring so some growing pains are expected.
#37 RHP Thomas Harrington 23yo (AAA) - First round pick back in 2022 Harrington is almost MLB ready. Thomas projects to be a 4th/5th starter in a rotation. He will need to give up less HR’s if he expects to have a nice long career in the MLB.
#38 RHP Bubba Chandler 22yo (AAA) - Bubba is on the cusp of making his MLB debut; a bit more seasoning and the much anticipated debut could occur later this year. Chandler should fill the role of a #3 starter and be a major part of a future Pirates World Series team. Currently his fastball sits at 96-98 and he offers a total of 4 pitches projected to be above average or better.
#52 3B/SS/LF/CF/RF Konnor Griffin 18yo (FCL) - Konnor is the crown jewel of our prospects. He’s a true 5 tool player that could finish his career as a Hall of Famer. Long way to go as he’s just 18 and will make his pro ball debut later this May.
#96 RHP Carlos Castillo 19yo (A) - Carlos projects to be a 5th starter/bullpen arm. Not particularly great at anything but solid overall with 3 pitches that grade to be above average or better.
