They say you can never have enough pitching.
After designating Diego Castillo for assignment, the Pittsburgh Pirates worked out a trade on December 23rd with the Arizona Diamondbacks, getting right-handed pitcher Scott Randall in return.
The 24-year-old was Arizona’s seventh round pick in 2021 out of Sacramento State, 198th overall. He was ranked as the 255th best prospect by Baseball America, where they raved about his control.
Randall got his feet wet at the professional level in 2021 after being drafted. He put together a strong season this past year at High-A with the Hillsboro Hops.
