Pirates To Release Allen Webster
By Jeff Todd | December 18, 2015 at 10:13am CST
The Pirates have released righty Allen Webster, as the team’s transactions
page reflects and as Stephen Nesbitt of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Webster had been acquired for cash after the Diamondbacks designated him for
assignment.
Tim Williams of PiratesProspects.com first noted the unexpected change in
Webster’s status on the Bucs’ transactions page, explaining that Pittsburgh
did not seem to have an immediate need for a 40-man spot. That could mean
that Webster is headed for an opportunity with an Asian club, as the Bucs had
previously seemed set to give a chance this spring to the out-of-options
right-hander.
Webster, 25, has long been seen as a rising power arm, but he’s struggled to
make good on his promise in the majors. In 120 1/3 MLB frames over the past
three years, he owns a 5.81 ERA with 5.7 K/9 and 4.9 BB/9.
While he had previously put up strong numbers in the upper minors, Webster
was bombed to the tune of a 8.18 ERA over 15 Triple-A starts last year. It’s
worth noting, too, that Webster’s average fastball velocity (in the majors)
dropped to 91.5 mph in 2015 after clocking in at over 94 in his first season
of MLB action.
