Travis MacGregor and Noe Toribio are Headed to Indianapolis

Published:

According to Altoona manager Kieran Mattison, as reported by Jarrod Prugar, the Pittsburgh Pirates have promoted right-handed pitchers Noe Toribio and Travis MacGregor to Triple-A Indianapolis.

We had recent features here on both Toribio and MacGregor, after both showed extended runs of success in the long relief role. Both are former starters excelling with slightly less work and new pitches in their arsenal. Toribio added a splitter, while MacGregor added a cutter (see links for details).

This season, the 22-year-old Toribio has a 1.85 ERA in 39 innings, with a 1.07 WHIP, a 46:13 SO/BB ratio, and a .201 BAA.

MacGregor made three starts that went poorly early in the year. Since his switch to the bullpen, he has a 1.98 ERA in 36.1 innings, with a 1.02 WHIP, a 48:12 SO/BB ratio and a .195 BAA.

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.
