WTM’s PLAYER PROFILE |
| Randall is a control artist who relies heavily on deception and on locating his fastball. The pitch sits in the low-90s and has reached 96. He has a very good change and a fringy slider. The Pirates acquired him from Arizona after designating Diego Castillo for assignment.
2021 In a brief debut, Randall had little trouble with low A hitters. 2022 Randall made 21 starts in the Northwest League. He got good results without dominating, with a very low walk rate and a K rate below the league average. Opponents had just a .295 OBP against him, but slugged .452, which was well above the league average. He gave up 14 longballs. 2023 After getting their mid-level pitching depth wiped out in the minor league Rule 5 draft, the Pirates were short of pitchers for Altoona in 2023, so Randall would have fit in there, but in the spring the Pirates put him on the full-season injured list. He ended up having Tommy John surgery. Randall will be out at least until late in the 2024 season. |
