Over the past several years, the Pirates farm system has steadily improved under the watch of general manager Neal Huntington. At the moment, prior to the official graduation of Gerrit Cole, it may be at its zenith. The farm system is absolutely loaded with both pitching and hitting prospects. For fun, I decided to break the farm system into two systems, one consisting of just pitchers and the other of hitters. From there, I'll compare each Pirates farm system to farm systems league-wide, identifying those that that one or both of the Pirates farm systems are clearly stronger than. This will show how incredible the Pirates farm system currently is and how balanced it is as well.
