A New Contender for Rookie of the Year 👀 pittsburghpirates piratesbaseball mlbshorts [2Ir0svmytBq]
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Esmerlyn Valdez earned a call-up as the organization's number nine prospect and has done nothing but mash. Over his first 100 ABs eclipsed his minor league OPS by hitting over 1.000 OPS and accumulated over 1.1 WAR already. The unexpected surge makes Valdez an exciting piece for an up-and-coming Pirates team and puts him in the Rookie of the Year conversation. #baseballshorts #mlbshort
