WTM’S PLAYER PROFILE

Henriquez signed as an older pitcher, at age 20, with his debut coming at age 21.

2018
R:  2-0-1, 1.65 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 16.1 IP, 2.2 BB/9, 8.3 K/9
A-:  1-0-0, 4.70 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, 15.1 IP, 4.1 BB/9, 8.2 K/9

No doubt due in part to his age, the Pirates assigned Henriquez to Morgantown for his first pro action.  Pitching in relief, he didn’t do badly there, but the Pirates sent him down to the GCL in mid-July.  He pitched well there.

The Pirates will probably give Henriquez a chance higher up, at Bristol or Morgantown, in 2019.
