WTM’s PLAYER PROFILE |
| The Pirates signed Vittini not long before the start of the 2022 DSL season. He’s a catcher with good size who has some raw power.
2022 The Pirates didn’t activate Vittini until near the end of the DSL season. Other than one inning at first, he played exclusively behind the plate. He threw out five of 15 base stealers, which is a good start. Vittini will play the 2023 season at age 20, so you have to wonder whether the Pirates will move him up to the FCL despite the lack of time in the DSL. |
