Pittsburgh Pirates Spring Training Tracker

Published:

The Pittsburgh Pirates invited 63 players to Major League camp this year. That group includes the entire 40-man roster (who all receive automatic invites), 22 non-roster invites, and then Jarrod Dyson, who signed at the beginning of Spring Training. Here’s the list of players in camp with 19 days before Opening Day. The NRI players are in bold writing. Bookmark this article, which will be updated whenever cuts are made this spring. The players with an asterisk next to their name are out of minor league options.

Chris Archer, Nick Burdi, Kyle Crick, Michael Feliz*, Geoff Hartlieb, Keone Kela, Mitch Keller, Chad Kuhl, Joe Musgrove, Dovydas Neverauskas*, Yacksel Rios, Richard Rodriguez, Edgar Santana, Chris Stratton*, Trevor Williams and Hector Noesi

I’ve taken Clay Holmes, Steven Brault, Jameson Taillon and Tom Koehler off of the list, giving you 59 players left in camp fighting for jobs. Holmes and Brault haven’t been cut yet, but they won’t be ready for Opening Day. Taillon is out for the season due to Tommy John surgery and Koehler retired. When other players are cut, I’ll place their names below and add a link to the article.

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
