The longest trip in Single-A for any Pirates prospect involves traveling across the state of Florida.

The longest trip in High-A requires you to travel to a different state, although you’re still in the Eastern Time Zone, albeit in a more regional group.

Once you reach Triple-A, the travel extends to half the country. You might even play in a different time zone than normal.

Travel is a hidden challenge for young players.
