Pittsburgh Pirates 2021 Mid-Season Top 30 Prospects

This is the midseason Top 30 Prospects update with new rankings and OFP where needed as well as new draftees. If you’d like to cross-reference this list with the pre-season, here is the Pirates List.


If you want a reminder on what OFP (Overall Future Potential), we wrote something up in the offseason about it.


These list won’t have updated reports on the players, we’re saving that for the offseason. Where applicable, you’ll see a player’s name hyperlinked. That leads to our brand new scouting report pages that contains their reports from the preseason.
