WTM’s PLAYER PROFILE |
| The Pirates signed Vizcaya as a potential five-tool center fielder, with plus speed and arm, and the potential to hit for power. Reports from the time the Pirates signed him indicated that he had taken up switch-hitting. MiLB.com, which makes frequent errors, lists him as a right-handed hitter.
2021 Vizcaya hit passably in his debut, with a high walk rate. He played mostly in right and some in left. 2022 Vizcaya didn’t make much progress in his second DSL season. His power declined, while his walk and K rate stayed about the same. Vizcaya will play the 2023 season at age 19. |
