Regardless of his contract situation, Reynolds is still at work preparing for the 2023 season. Here he is facing Mitch Keller, putting the ball in play.
Roansy Contreras Bullpen
Entering year two, this will also be Contreras’ first full season in the rotation at the major league level. He joins potential reliever candidates Yohan Ramirez and Duane Underwood Jr. in a bullpen session.

More Endy Rodriguez/Henry Davis
Two of the top hitting prospects in the system, there has been a lot of talk about how exactly a defensive platoon would look like behind the plate should they both stick at catcher.

We catch a glimpse on them working on throwing runners out at second. Endy threw out 31.18% of would be base stealers, while Davis struggled a bit more despite the high grade on his arm — finishing with a 12.82 CS%.
Oneil Cruz
Just because it’s always a treat to watch Oneil Cruz play baseball, here’s some of him working in the field and at the plate.
Pirates SS Oneil Cruz is such a gifted athlete, there’s nothing he doesn’t do exceptionally well. Look at how little effort he uses to hit the ball upward and far, it’s amazing at what he gets out of his skills. #superstar pic.twitter.com/2g4fDlWB1l

Dylan Crews Opening Weekend
The Pirates will pick first overall for the second time in the last three years in 2023, and one of the options is LSU outfielder Dylan Crews, who had a strong opening weekend against Western Michigan.
