The Pittsburgh Pirates have shifted Oneil Cruz to center field, prompting the search for a new shortstop. Tsung-Che Cheng, ranked No. 18 in their prospect system, is emerging as a potential solution. After a rocky stint in Double-A, Cheng excelled in Triple-A, showcasing impressive batting and speed.
His defensive skills at shortstop could enhance the Pirates' infield, which struggled with errors last season. The team is likely to rely on internal options rather than free agents, making Cheng a key player to watch for the 2025 season.
