Joseph was throwing 87-91 when the Pirates signed him and he still figured to have projection left.  He also throws a curve and change.

2020
DNP

2021
DSL:  2-2-0, 4.40 ERA, 1.47 WHIP, 14.1 IP, 8.2 BB/9, 8.2 K/9

Joseph saw only limited time in ten relief appearances.  He didn’t give up many hits but he walked too many.

DSL:  1-2-0, 3.27 ERA, 1.64 WHIP, 22.0 IP, 6.5 BB/9, 11.5 K/9

Joseph started five games and made progress both with his control and his K rate.  He did, however, get hit more.

Joseph has had some success and needs to get to the FCL.  He’ll turn 21 about the time its season starts.
