Wyatt Sanford entered the Pirates system as a glove-first shortstop with speed and questions about the bat. Less than two years later, his prospect profile looks completely different.
Jim and Anthony Murphy break down the setup changes behind Sanford’s power surge at High-A Greensboro, where he hit 10 home runs and stole 21 bases through 48 games. They discuss his 112 mph maximum exit velocity, smooth defense at shortstop, plus speed, rising prospect rankings and the swing-and-miss concerns that could ultimately determine his ceiling.
They also look at where Sanford could fit with Konnor Griffin established at shortstop, including potential futures at second base or center field, and why his athleticism gives him a chance to continue making adjustments.
