WTM’s PLAYER PROFILE |
| Ceballo was considered a solid, all-around catching prospect who probably got a good signing bonus, although the amount isn’t known. He reportedly has above-average arm strength, and good blocking and framing skills. He’s an all-fields hitter with some potential to develop power.
2018 Ceballo didn’t hit a great deal in his debut, with limited power and patience. He had trouble with errors, committing ten in 30 games. The Pirates brought Ceballo to spring training in 2019, so he’s likely to be in the Gulf Coast League. |
