Although he was acquired during last year’s trade deadline, Ricky DeVito didn’t make his pitching debut in the Pirates system until this season, pitching for the Greensboro Grasshoppers.
Usually the first thing you check after seeing a Greensboro pitcher with a high ERA is what his home/away splits are, as that can usually paint a clear picture as to what’s going on.
That hasn’t been the case for DeVito, who has posted an ERA of over five both on the home and on the road.
There is something interesting in looking at how DeVito has been utilized, however.
