WTM’s PLAYER PROFILE |
| Jerez is the older brother of shortstop Juan Jerez, who was one of the Pirates’ more prominent signings in the 2018-19 signing period. He has good size and potentially could add some power as he fills out.
2018 Jerez split his time between the outfield corners and finished with poor numbers. He was hitting respectably until he went 1-for-27 over his last ten games. Despite the weak debut, the Pirates will send Jerez to the Gulf Coast League in 2019. |
