Blake Gerald Weiman (born November 5, 1995) is an American professional baseball pitcher in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization.
Weiman attended Columbine High School in Columbine, Colorado. He signed to play college baseball at the University of Kansas.[152] During his high school career, he played in three Colorado Rockies Futures games.[153] In 2014, as a senior, he went 7–0 with a 1.40 ERA and was named to the All-Colorado baseball team.[154] Undrafted out of high school in the 2014 Major League Baseball draft, he enrolled at Kansas.
In 2015, as a freshman at Kansas, Weiman appeared in 21 games (seven starts), going 2–7 with a 6.75 ERA.[155] As a sophomore in 2016, he became a full-time starter, appearing in 17 games in which he went 2–7 with a 6.82 ERA.[156] In 2017, in Weiman's junior season, he moved to the bullpen where he greatly improved, pitching to a 5–1 record with a 2.80 ERA, striking out 55 batters in 45 relief innings pitched. After his junior year, he was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the eighth round of the 2017 Major League Baseball draft.[157][158]
Weiman signed with Pittsburgh and made his professional debut with the West Virginia Black Bears of the Class A Short Season New York–Penn League, going 4–3 with a 3.78 ERA in 21 relief appearances.[159] He began the 2018 season with the West Virginia Power of the Class A South Atlantic League and was promoted to the Bradenton Marauders of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League and the Altoona Curve of the Class AA Eastern League during the year. In 67 relief innings pitched between the three clubs, he went 4–1 with a 2.42 ERA and 77 strikeouts.[160] After the season, he played for the Surprise Saguaros of the Arizona Fall League and was named to the Fall Stars Game.[161][162] Weiman was a non-roster invitee to 2019 spring training.[163] He returned to Altoona to begin 2019 and was promoted to the Indianapolis Indians of the Class AAA International League in June after pitching to a 1.86 ERA over 19+1⁄3 relief innings.[164][165] Over eight relief appearances with Indianapolis, Weiman went 0–1 with a 4.63 ERA. He missed nearly all of the last two months of the season due to injury.[166]
Weiman did not play a minor league game in 2020 since the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[23] For the 2021 season, he returned to Indianapolis.[167] He missed playing time in August due to injury.[168] Over 35 relief appearances, Weiman went 5-0 with a 4.76 ERA and 45 strikeouts over 45+1⁄3 innings.

Bats: Right Throws: Right |
Eddy Yean (born July 25, 2001) is a Dominican professional baseball pitcher in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization.
The Nationals signed Yean as an international amateur free agent out of the Dominican Republic in July 2017, giving him a $100,000 signing bonus. After beginning his professional career in the Dominican Summer League in 2018, Yean advanced to Class A Short Season ball in 2019, pitching for the Auburn Doubledays. In 2020, MLB Pipeline rated Yean as the Nationals' sixth-best prospect overall and forecast that he would continue rising as a prospect.[169]
Yean pitches right-handed, releasing the ball from a three-quarters arm slot. He employs a two-seam fastball up to 97 miles per hour (156 km/h) as his primary pitch.[170] He also throws a slider and a changeup.[171]
On December 24, 2020, Yean along with Wil Crowe were traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for Josh Bell.[172]
