Pittsburgh Pirates Minor League Plays of the Day 6/13/2026

Spoiler Alert: Tony Blanco Jr. walks it off in Greensboro.

I’ve created the latest feature for the new Pirates Prospects.

The top 10 minor league plays of the day.

Every night, the site will gather the top ten plays…

…you know what?

It’s probably easier to just show you.

Here are the Plays of the Day from Saturday, June 13th, 2026:

You can also go to PiratesProspects.com every day to find the Player of the Day in the system, including level-by-level breakdowns. Here are the results from yesterday, with Connor Wietgrefe’s six shutout, eight strikeout performance in Altoona leading the way.

You can also check out the Scores page for the daily top performers and Statcast leaders, along with live updates while the games are taking place. I wrote about Carlos Mateo earlier this week in the Players of the Week article. Check out those velocities in his 1.1 shutout innings from the FCL on Saturday morning.

The new Plays of the Day video will appear on the homepage of Pirates Prospects every morning, and will stay up until the night games begin. You can also get alerts when the videos upload by following the Pirates Prospects YouTube channel.

What’s fun for me about this new daily video process — which is mostly automated like everything else on the new site — is that I’ve started to make some adjustments to the Past Results scoring system. The basis is still RE24, but I’m starting to add rules which address some of the weak parts of RE24. Those rules will eventually lead to a unique scoring system on the site, rather than a RE24-exclusive approach.

Every day, I’ll be fine tuning that system further.

Meanwhile, the upcoming week will see another big addition to the site. Hopefully. The data download for this project took six hours, and I might need a week to ensure it’s all calculating correctly before it goes live.

On that note…

Until the next time I go live…
