The Pittsburgh Pirates signed 26-year-old right-handed pitcher Lisalverto Bonilla on Tuesday, placing him on the 40-man roster. We covered his career and scouting report last night, but saved his winter league stats for this morning. He is pitching for Leones del Escogido in the Dominican League. Bonilla joined the league in late October and has made seven appearances out of the bullpen.
The stats on Bonilla from the regular seasons show that he is a ground ball pitcher, who also racks up strikeouts. He had a nice return from 2015 Tommy John surgery and is continuing to add on innings in winter ball.
