The Pittsburgh Pirates have signed 6-foot-7, 17-year-old Chinese pitcher Mingxuan Zhang, according to reporter Francys Romero on X.com. The signing was announced on the 15th, but made official with the literal signing yesterday.
The Pirates have had other Chinese prospects in their system, including Hai-Cheng Gong of the Shanghai Golden Eagles who was signed in 2017 at 18, but none have made the big league roster.
