Pirates’ Power Prospect Florentino | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Pirates’ 19-year-old outfielder Edward Florentino is exploding onto the scene as one of baseball’s most electrifying prospects, ranked 8 by Bleacher Report for players under 20. Despite a minor ankle issue earlier this year, he’s showcasing elite raw power and an impressive plate discipline — walking over 15% of the time. Already hitting 25 homers this season with a high OPS and 16 bombs last year in just 83 games, Florentino’s combination of power, speed, and on-base ability makes him the Pirates’ second-best prospect behind their top pitching talent. With his bat heating up and his ceiling soaring, Florentino could soon become a middle-of-the-order force — a true gem in Pittsburgh’s rebuilding system.
