WTM’S PIRATE PLAYER PROFILES |
| The Pirates initially signed Wang in the summer of 2011 for about $350,000, but the deal was voided when a physical revealed a torn ligament that required Tommy John surgery. Wang signed at a reduced price in the fall and was in camp in March. He reportedly reaches the low 90s, and has a good change and a curve.
2012 Wang spent 2012 recovering from the elbow surgery, but was pitching in training camp in March 2013 and should go to short season ball, probably the GCL. |
