Pirates Claim Jhan Marinez

By Jeff Todd | May 19, 2017 at 4:17pm CDT

The Pirates have claimed righty Jhan Marinez off waivers from the Brewers, per a club announcement (h/t MLB.com’s Adam Berry, on Twitter). He had been designated for assignment earlier in the week.

Marinez, an out-of-options reliever, has scuffled early in 2017, leading to his loss of a roster spot in Milwaukee. Over 16 2/3 frames, he owns a 5.40 ERA with 14 strikeouts and 11 walks.

That said, there are obviously some things to like about the 28-year-old. He was much better last year, with a 3.18 ERA over his 62 1/3 innings. And Marinez is also currently trending northward in both average fastball velocity (sitting over 95.4 with the four-seamer and 94.5 with the two-seamer) and groundball induction (57.4%).

      Yup it was @forwhomjoshbelltolls, he said that Marinez was exactly the type of player who the Pirates look for in reclamation projects and he was spot on.

        Hey, thanks to both of you…no one ever remembers my random predictions when they come true.

        That said, any pitcher that…

        A) Throws 95 +
        B) Has a 50% or higher ground ball rate
        C) Is cheap to acquire and employ

        …will be one the Pirates at least give Searage a chance to fix. They have a formula.

        I know nothing more than Marinez’s name, avg. velo and ground ball rate but I’m excited to see what they can do with him.
