Organization Prospect Rankings

Track Record: The Pirates drafted Zamora out of Stony Book in the 40th round in 2015, eight picks before the Angels made the final pick of the draft. A starter in college, he worked exclusively as a reliever in the Pirates' system before Pittsburgh traded him to the Mets prior to the 2018 season for Josh Smoker. Zamora pitched well enough at Double-A Binghamton in 2018 to earn an August callup.

Scouting Report: Zamora is effectively a one-pitch pitcher who threw his 76-80 mph slider nearly 80 percent of the time in a big league debut spanning 16 appearances and nine innings. No other reliever threw a slider (or curveball) more frequently than Zamora. It's a plus pitch with elite spin and significant vertical drop delivered from a near sidearm arm slot. His slider generates swings and misses from batters on both sides of the plate. He throws a fringe 88-90 mph fastball mostly to keep batters off his slider.

The Future: Zamora is the heir apparent to Jerry Blevins as the Mets' matchup lefthander, a role he is ready to assume in 2019.
