Forgotten Pittsburgh Pirates: Tom Gorzelanny

In the mid-to-late 2000s, the Pittsburgh Pirates had many pitchers who became forgotten players in their history. Maybe they were underrated, or maybe they just weren’t all that great. The ladder is the case with former left-handed Pirates’ starter Tom Gozelanny.

Gorzelanny was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 2nd round of the 2003 MLB Draft. After a decent showing at Double-A in 2005 where he had a 3.26 ERA and 2.91 FIP, Gorzelanny appeared on the one and only top 100 prospect list of his career, ranking as the 95th best prospect by Baseball America going into 2006.
