Giants Claim Ricardo Pinto

By Jeff Todd | September 6, 2019 at 2:04pm CDT

The Giants have claimed righty Ricardo Pinto off waivers, per a club announcement. A roster spot was created by moving Trevor Gott to the 60-day injured list.

Pinto has been hit hard in each of his two, brief MLB stints but hasn’t yet received a full opportunity. In 123 1/3 innings this year in the upper minors, he carried a 4.23 ERA with 8.1 K/9 against 3.9 BB/9.

One thing that isn’t in doubt is Pinto’s arm speed. He has shown upper-nineties heat whether leaning on a two-seam or four-seam fastball. Perhaps the Giants have some ideas for unlocking Pinto’s potential — much as they did with Gott.

    Ricardo has some control issues to work through. I think he’ll get them sorted out, but Pinto’ll bean some players in the process.

    Gott was a good get … I’ll bet if they wanted to get something for Gott they’d get something good. It’s not clear if Gott’s gotta get TJ, he may just gotta get a good amount of rest and then he’ll get to get going back and get a lot of guys out again.

    Keep in mind, you can’t coach 98 mph, you can, however, coach location issues with release point management. Just sayin’…
