WTM’S PIRATE PLAYER PROFILES

The Pirates signed Cespedes back in 2013, but he has yet to appear in a professional game due to injury.

2014-15
INJURED

Cespedes signed early in 2013, but he didn’t pitch that year and had Tommy John surgery in 2014.  He spent 2015 recovering and again didn’t pitch.

2016
R:  1-0-0, 2.57 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 14.0 IP, 2.6 BB/9, 5.8 K/9

Cespedes finally got into his first professional action at age 21.  He pitched reasonably well, but didn’t appear in a game after the end of July.

Assuming he’s healthy, Cespedes should be at Bristol or back in the GCL in 2017.
