Maikol Escotto Swipes Four Bags, Tallies Two Doubles
Pittsburgh Pirates infield prospect Maikol Escotto went 3-for-5 with four stolen bases on Sunday. Escotto tallied two doubles, scored three runs, and brought in one run. After tallying three hits in the season opener, Escotto was productive once again, posting his second-straight three-hit contest. This is an excellent sign as Escotto struggled at times with High-A Greensboro last summer. Through 68 games with High-A in 2024, the 22-year-old held a modest .215/.257/.355 slash line with six doubles, eight long balls, and just eight stolen bases. However, Escotto has already begun to hit for extra bases and flash elite speed potential. If he continues to remain productive at High-A, he should be in the mix for an early-season promotion to Double-A, given that he has logged 200 career games with Greensboro.
