Pirates catcher Jacob Stallings faces make-or-break spring training

Posted Mar 2, 2019
Jacob Stallings came to spring training with the Pittsburgh Pirates not just competing for a spot on the Opening Day roster but because he is out of minor-league options. This is a make-or-break spring for Stallings. “Maybe there's a little heightened sense of focus on everything you do. At the same time, you don’t want it to weigh you down.” Stallings said.
