Pirates Sign Pitcher from the Dominican; Scouting Reports Added for Three Other Signings

The Pittsburgh Pirates added to their 2021-22 international signing class this week, adding right-handed pitcher Fares Sanchez, who just turned 18 years old. He made his debut in the Dominican Summer League today, throwing two shutout innings. I was able to get a quick scouting report on him. He stands 6’1″, 170, with a large frame that still needs to fill out. His fastball sits in the 89-91 MPH range. He also throws a slider and changeup, and he gets praise for mixing his pitches well.

I was also able to get a report on recently signed Adolfo Oviedo, who debuted last week after his contract became official.
