Pirates turn to Bailey Falter in encounter against Marlins

On March 23, 2025, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Bailey Falter threw a pitch against the Toronto Blue Jays during a spring training game at TD Ballpark in Dunedin, Florida.
Falter, jersey number 6, is a left-handed pitcher coming off a season where he went 8-9 with a 4.43 ERA, setting career bests in wins, home run rate per nine innings , and starts .
The Pirates are scheduled to visit the Miami Marlins, against whom Falter has a 3-0 record and 4.30 ERA in eight career games, with five starts, and in a previous game went 2-for-4 with a homer, two RBIs, one walk, and one steal in a 4-3 victory.
The Marlins will start right-hander Valente Bellozo, who is 25 years old, made his MLB debut last season going 3-4 with a 3.67 ERA, and on Sept. 9, Bellozo faced the Pirates once, going 5 1/3 innings and allowing one earned run with two strikeouts.
Recently, the Pirates added 26-year-old infielder Enmanuel Valdez, replacing Nick Gonzales who suffered a non-displaced fracture on his left ankle and was placed on the 10-day injured list, while the Marlins, who made a league-high 117 errors last year, are trying to improve and recently acquired Tyler Phillips from the Phillies, as Otto Lopez is likely to play second base on Saturday, despite being hit in the face on Friday.
