The Pittsburgh Pirates have signed two pitchers from the Dominican Republic, adding 18-year-old right-hander Clevary Tejada and 21-year-old lefty Jose Regalado to their 2022-23 international signing class.
Tejada was originally a shortstop, who only moved to the mound in 2021. He has advanced quickly as a pitcher. He was a marginal shortstop prospect due to his arm and athleticism, which has translated well to the mound.
His fastball sits 89-91 MPH, to go along with a mid-70s curve and an advanced changeup that sits 83-84 MPH. He controls his pitches well, using his changeup as his out pitch.
