Future Stars: 5 Pirates Prospects Flying Under Radar
8 Oct
Summary
- Five lesser-known prospects could become significant players.
- Pitchers Felix Doroteo and Ronaldo Gallo throw high-velocity fastballs.
- Outfielders Eddie King Jr., Kyler Fedko, and Titus Dumitru show offensive promise.
While top prospects like Seth Hernandez and Edward Florentino garner attention, the Pittsburgh Pirates farm system harbors several "super-sleeper" prospects fans should monitor. These emerging talents are not widely recognized but possess significant potential.
Pitchers Felix Doroteo and Ronaldo Gallo are two such prospects. Doroteo, acquired in a 2026 trade, throws a sinker up to 99 MPH with good extension, projecting as a future quality reliever. Gallo, an undrafted free agent, showcases a 97 MPH fastball and quality off-speed pitches, with his health being the main concern.
The Pirates also have promising outfielders. Eddie King Jr., drafted in 2025, demonstrates an excellent walk rate and contact skills. Kyler Fedko, a former Twins prospect, has shown impressive power and versatility, despite a recent injury. Titus Dumitru, acquired in 2025, possesses raw power and a strong underlying profile, with adjustments to his approach expected to unlock his potential.
