3 years agoThe Pittsburgh Pirates called up outfield prospect Cal Mitchell from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, according to a source. Mitchell, the team's No. 25 prospect per MLB Pipeline, was hitting .307/.362/.500 with an .862 OPS, five home runs, nine doubles, 26 RBI, 16 runs scored and six stolen bases in 138 plate appearances over 34 games for Indianapolis to earn the call-up. But the Pirates need all the help they can get on the major league roster, and the 23-year-old could come up to play regularly, making him one to pick up in deep mixed and NL-only leagues right away. Mitchell has a smooth left-handed stroke an plenty of extra-base pop with raw power.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
