The Pittsburgh Pirates announced their list of non-roster invites to Spring Training on Friday afternoon. It’s a list of 28 players, which includes numerous top prospects, including 2021 first overall pick Henry Davis, 2020 first round picks Nick Gonzales (7th overall and Carmen Mlodzinski (31st overall) and 2019 first round pick Quinn Priester.
As you would expect here, there will be a lot of catchers on this list. The Pirates only have one catcher on their 40-man roster, Roberto Perez. With so many pitchers in camp, they will need the extra backstops. Taylor Davis was released by the Pirates in November, so this serves as his announced re-signing with the team.
