Ottawa, ON - The Ottawa Titans Baseball Club announced today the re-signing of right-handed pitcher Erasmo Pinales for the upcoming 2024 Frontier League season.

Pinales, 28, will once again play a major part of the Titans’ pitching staff following a fantastic 2023 campaign in the nation’s capital. In 35 appearances this past season, Pinales went 5-2 with a 1.50 ERA – allowing only six earned runs across 36 innings pitched. To go along with six saves, the righty fanned 39. In 11 outings from May 13^th-July 4^th, Pinales allowed one run (unearned), working 10.2 frames in the process.

For the Winnipeg Goldeyes in 2022, Pinales pitched 45 times out of the bullpen and went 2-5 with a 4.14 ERA over 41.1 innings. The right-hander struck out 57, which was good enough for a 12.4 SO/9.

A product of La Vega, Dominican Republic, Pinales heads into his tenth season of professional baseball and has a lifetime 3.23 ERA in 200 appearances (23 starts, 177 in relief). 

Originally signed as an international free agent by the Houston Astros in 2013, he reached Double-A twice in his career. After a release from the Astros, Pinales signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks before the season was cancelled due to the pandemic.
