Pirates Are Getting Big Numbers From a Big First Base Prospect

BRISTOL -- Carlos Munoz is not your typical baseball player. He's listed at 5' 11", 225 pounds, but is currently much bigger than that, sitting at 241 pounds at the moment. He looks in no way to be an athlete at first glance, and the idea that he could be a prospect seems far-fetched. But then you look at the numbers, and you realize one thing: Munoz can hit. Really well.

I first noticed Munoz when prepping for the 2014 GCL season, looking solely at his numbers. The thing that stood out to me was that he had walked twice as many times as he struck out in every season in the VSL and DSL.
