EDGE Analysis

The Pirates' potential shortstop of the future was hit in the head by a 94 mph fastball on May 10, but was back in the lineup on May 12 after showing no concussion symptoms. This has been a disappointing start to the season for the 23-year-old, as he was expected to have his way with Double-A pitching in a return trip to the Eastern League. He also has not yet shown any sign that more power is coming.
