WTM’s PLAYER PROFILE

The Pirates signed Navarro out of Mexico at the beginning of the 2017-18 international signing period.  He also was drafted by Mazatlan of the Mexican League, but with his lack of experience isn’t likely to play for them very soon.  He was at fall instructionals in September after he signed.  He was already 21 when he signed, so he’s not young for the rookie levels.

2018
R+:  250/341/375, 72 AB, 3 2B, 3 3B, 10 BB, 14 K, 5-7 SB

The Pirates sent Navarro to Bristol, where he played only sparingly.  In the field, he split his time between left and right.  He showed good plate discipline, but not much power.

Navarro didn’t do much in 2018, but he’ll be 23 when the 2019 season starts and needs to get to higher levels.
