WTM’s PLAYER PROFILE |
Saba was throwing 86-88 mph when the Pirates signed him, together with a curve that had good spin and a developing change. He has a lanky frame that should give him some projection.
2022 Pitching mainly in relief, Saba had a very solid debut. His walk and K rates were just passable, but opponents hit only .226 against him, without much power. He had a massive platoon split; right-handed hitters managed only a .496 OPS against him, but left-handed hitters torched him for .906. It’s a very small sample size, though. Saba should be in the FCL in 2023. |
