One of the more forgotten players in the system, Cal Mitchell slowly worked his way up the ladder before making his Major League debut last season.
After gradually improving as he reached each level, despite struggling in his first bit of Major League action, there was hope with his track record he could make the adjustments needed to get another shot.
He got off to a rough start in April, slashing just .207/.253/.280, while striking out 33 times in 22 games played.
Mitchell isn’t a power hitter in the traditional sense, as he was only slightly above average in exit velocity in his time in Pittsburgh last year, as well as falling in the 31st percentile when it comes to max velocity.
