Dauri Moreta

Moreta came to Pittsburgh via trade prior to last season and made their Opening Day bullpen. The 27-year-old righty impressed during the month of May, striking out 20 with only six baserunners allowed over 13.1 scoreless innings. The Dominican native was inconsistent throughout the summer until a back injury surfaced in early August. He only missed a few weeks of action, but was dispatched to the minors for a month before a recall for the final week of the season. Moreta finished with an impressive 3.72 ERA (2.92 FIP), 1.09 WHIP and 31.8 percent strikeout rate over a career-high 58 innings, but he did not receive many high-leverage opportunities. 2024 may afford him more chances to prove himself in the late innings, but he's likely to fill a middle relief role to start the year.
