Pineda called up
if he doesn't, then it's weem-away, a-weem-away ... Should be his entrance song.
What a meteoric rise for Pineda. Hope he gets a good chunk of games behind the plate.
Pineda, the Nationals’ 26th-ranked prospect according to MLB.com, started the season at Class A Wilmington where he played in 67 games before being called up to Class AA Harrisburg. He made 26 appearances there before being called up to Class AAA Rochester on Aug. 31, where he played in six games before being recalled.Across the three levels, Pineda ranked second among Nationals minor leaguers in RBI (71) and fifth in slugging percentage (.458). In his first three professional seasons from 2017-2019, Pineda hit just 11 home runs. But in 2021, he showed an increase in power by hitting 14. And this season, he’s hit 16 homers, seven of which came during his time in Harrisburg....Martinez said the plan will be for Pineda to split the remaining games with Adams and Barrera. It’s likely that Pineda will need more time to develop at Rochester, though a successful season-ending stint with Washington could help his chances of sticking in the majors. Even if he does struggle, Pineda could wind up backup to Ruiz in the future.
Gray is done for the year, he's not scheduled to start in NY.
espino, abbott and fedde?
