Jean Pinto

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Baltimore Orioles #29 prospect in 2022
  Track Record: One of two pitchers acquired when the Orioles traded Jose Iglesias to the Angels in December 2020, Pinto showed well with an impressive domestic debut. He made just five appearances in the FCL before a promotion to Low-A Delmarva.
  
  Scouting Report: Pinto’s fastball already sits in the low 90s while touching 95 mph, and his size means there’s potentially room to grow into more. It’s already an effective pitch, especially up in the strike zone, though he’s working to be more consistent with the movement of the four-seamer. He missed bats with a changeup that could be above-average in the high 80s, while he uses a two-plane breaking ball in the 82-84 mph range for strikeouts as well. He’s filled out physically since signing, especially in his lower half, but uses his whole body in his delivery and keeps a clean line to the plate.
  
  The Future: Pinto has a ways to go before he can get near his ceiling as a back-end starter in the big leagues.
