Indianapolis Indians News Release
INDIANAPOLIS - The Pittsburgh Pirates today selected the contract of right-handed starting pitcher Osvaldo Bido, who will make his major league debut tonight as their starting pitcher at Chicago (NL). He will become the second player from the 2023 Indianapolis Indians to make his big league debut this season, following right-handed relief pitcher Cody Bolton.
Bido, 27, owns a 3-4 record, 4.55 ERA (28er/55.1ip) and 56 strikeouts in 12 games (10 starts) with Indianapolis this season. He currently ranks among International League qualifiers in average against (3rd, .224), WHIP (3rd, 1.30) and ERA (8th). His season has been highlighted by a pair of quality starts, including his most recent win on June 3 vs. Toledo when he fanned seven across 7.0 two-run innings.
On April 16 vs. St. Paul, Bido made his first appearance out of the bullpen and earned the win with nine strikeouts across 5.0 scoreless innings. His nine punchouts in the outing are the most by a relief pitcher in Victory Field history and were his most since fanning 10 in a start on Sept. 20, 2022.
Bido was signed by Pittsburgh as a non-drafted free agent on March 14, 2017 out of Los Hidalgos, Dominican Republic.
Indianapolis' first-time callups are presented by Franciscan Health.
