Josh Bell Pittsburgh Pirates Organization Highest level reached: AA (Photo: Jake Rashkow) (Photo: Jake Rashkow) For as highly touted as Josh Bell is amongst the experts like Jonathan Mayo and Jim Callis, he did not deliver in his performance at the Arizona Fall League. Bell hit .214, 0 HR, 7 RBI, and 8 XBH, with 12 BB and 13 K. Bell played in 23 of the 31 games that the AFL provides but his showing put him in the bottom third of players in the League. Bell is a Switch Hitter, and it is hard to say which side he performed better from. Bell hit for a lower AVG from the Right but, this is the side he acquired all of his Walks. In addition, Bell totaled 11 of his 13 strikeouts from the right. So, you can decide but, it seems if he can improve his discipline from the right, Bell could be a really explosive switch hitter in the future considering he hit .273 from the left. Bell is the # 29 Overall prospect according to MLB.com and he will probably spend most of the 2015 in AAA
