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
Did not play

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.
