BRADENTON, Fla. — Cole Figueroa has been a numbers guy for as long as he can remember. If baseball hadn’t gotten in the way, he would’ve studied engineering rather than sports business at the University of Florida. He enjoys writing code with R and Python, computer programming languages.
Seems like someone who might know every digit of pi, right?
“Well, haven’t tried this in a while,” Figueroa said Sunday, then tried anyway. “It goes something like this … 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510.
“That’s the first 50.”
Figueroa, 28, signed with the Pirates in December as a minor league free agent.
