The Pittsburgh Pirates are reportedly acquiring relief pitcher Camilo Doval from the New York Yankees for two prospects, per ESPN's Jeff Passan. The deal is pending a physical for the players involved, per The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal.
New York will reportedly be getting back Luis Cruz and Omar Alfonzo, per the New York Post's Joel Sherman. Alfonzo was Pittsburgh's No. 17 prospect, per MLB.com. Cruz was not ranked in the top-30 for the organization.
Doval has made 44 appearances for the Yankees this season. He takes a 3-1 record and a 4.54 ERA with him to Pittsburgh.
Doval is known for a plus fastball and has struck out 39 batters in 39.3 innings of work this year. This season, the right-handed reliever has been featuring his sinker most often. Doval has leaned on a sinker, cutter and slider as his three main pitches this year, per Baseball Savant.
The reliever does have a changeup, but has only thrown it 23 times this season (3.4%), and it has largely been out of the zone.
