| Career Transactions | |
| Selected by Pirates in first round (eighth overall) of 2013 draft | |
| Background | |
| Drafted three picks after Loganville neighbor—they went to different high schools—Clint Frazier, Meadows was considered the top prep hitter in the 2013 class before Frazier passed him by. | |
| What to Watch For | |
| A fractured right orbital bone delayed his 2016 season, but didn’t slow him much. Meadows came back on a mission and slugged his way (.611) to Triple-A. He should be ready for the crowded Pirates outfield before too long. |
