Pirates' New Catcher Prospect Rising | Pittsburgh Pirates News

The Pirates’ catcher search just got a major upgrade with Easton Carmichael, a third-round pick from Oklahoma who’s flashing elite potential. After a wrist injury delayed his pro debut, he exploded in High-A with a .305 average and 16 homers, earning a jump to Double-A Altoona — where he’s still showing flashes of power despite a slight dip in stats. Scouts rave about his athleticism, arm strength, and raw power potential, even if his receiving and glove work need polish. With a spot in the Arizona Fall League on the horizon, Carmichael is poised to become the franchise’s next cornerstone behind the plate — ranked eighth in the system, he’s the answer they’ve been waiting for.
