Daniel Zamora Returns to the Pirates

The Pittsburgh Pirates have agreed to a deal with 29-year-old left-handed pitcher Daniel Zamora. The news was announced by Zamora on his Instagram page.

Zamora was originally drafted by the Pirates in the 40th round of the 2015 draft. He was traded to the New York Mets in January of 2018 for lefty pitcher Josh Smoker.

Zamora debuted in the majors with the Mets in August of 2018 and had a 3.00 in 16 appearances that season. That amounted to just nine innings, as he was being used as a lefty specialist. He picked up 16 strikeouts in that brief time. He pitched 17 games for the 2019 Mets, giving up five runs over 8.2 innings, with eight strikeouts. He didn’t play during the 2020 shortened season.
