Pensacola Blue Wahoos News Release
PENSACOLA, Fla. - Blue Wahoos right-hander Daniel Corcino got the call he was waiting his whole life for, the call to the Major Leagues. Corcino has been recalled by the Reds and will join the Big League club on their current homestand as they host the Atlanta Braves.
Corcino, 23, was 10-11 in 26 outings with the Blue Wahoos this season. He struck out 113 Southern League hitters, good for fourth in the league, while issuing 70 walks over 143.2 innings. He held opponents to just a .230 average which is also fourth in the circuit among qualifying pitchers.
After pitching for Triple-A Louisville in 2013, Corcino was back in Pensacola for his second stint with the Wahoos this year. He was one of the original Blue Wahoos, playing in Pensacola during the team's inaugural season in 2012. He is forever etched in the history books as being the first Blue Wahoo to toss a no-hitter when he combined with Wilkin De La Rosa to no-hit the Mobile BayBears at Pensacola Bayfront Stadium on June 16, 2012. In his two seasons with the Blue Wahoos he is 18-19 with a 3.57 ERA in 52 games.
Corcino entered the season ranked by Baseball America as the Reds No. 13 prospect. He signed with Cincinnati out of the Dominican Republic in 2008, and was added to the Reds 40-man roster in November of 2012. Corcino's first outing with the Reds will be his Major League debut.
Corcino was originally scheduled to start Friday's series opener with the Montgomery Biscuits but was replaced by RHP Tim Adleman. Adleman's replacement in the rotation on Saturday hasn't been announced.
