Tyler Heineman

The Pirates signed Tyler Heineman as their first-round pick this year. He’s only 20 years old, but the young catcher has already impressed observers. He’s shown strong defensive skills as well, nabbing 38% of runners who tried to steal against him in his professional career. Baseball Prospectus also gives him above-average framing marks and average dirt-blocking marks. The Pirates have a number of young catchers on their roster, including Mitch White, and Heineman has already shown himself to be a top-tier talent.
