P2Daily: First Impressions of Ricky DeVito
GREENSBORO, NC – Yesterday, I got my first look at Ricky DeVito, a right-handed pitching prospect who the Pirates acquired from the Braves last year for Richard Rodriguez.
DeVito has been pitching for Greensboro this year, and on the season he has a 4.70 ERA in 67 innings of work. He has mostly pitched as a multi-inning reliever this year. However, the Pirates have been getting him work as a starter since the beginning of August. Last night he went four innings, giving up two runs on three hits, with a walk and eight strikeouts.
It was a great result, and the strikeout below to end the second inning is a sample of what makes DeVito so interesting.
