Get To Know Josh Loeschorn: The Pirates Prospect Who Codes and Throws Heat

Pirates right-hander Josh Loeschorn joins North Shore Nine for a brand new Get to Know episode! A 2022 20th-round pick out of Long Island University, Loeschorn opens up about his incredible journey through college ball, the Frontier League, and his long comeback from back surgery that sidelined him for all of 2024. Josh dives deep into his LIU career, what draft day was like, and how his computer science background and passion for pitching analytics helped him grow during his rehab. He also talks about training at RPP and Driveline, the feeling of getting back on the mound in 2025, and what it’s like being part of a tight-knit Pirates pitching group. Plus — Loeschorn reveals which teammate he’d pick if stranded on an island, and how his “give me the ball” mentality defines his approach.
