WINNIPEG, MB - The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the signing Monday of right-handed relief pitcher Juan Echevarría.
Echevarría (pronounced etch-ah-va-REE-yuh) spent the last three seasons with the Milwaukee Milkmen. In 2024 he appeared in 10 games - including three starts - and posted a 1-0 record with a 13.70 earned run average.
The 27-year-old made his American Association debut in 2021 with the Chicago Dogs and his combined record in the league stands at 8-6 with a 5.80 ERA and five saves.
Echevarría was chosen by the Baltimore Orioles in the 21st round of the 2015 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of Osceola High School (Kissimmee, Florida). He spent four seasons in their system, compiling an 11-5 record with a 4.40 ERA.
The native of Santurce, Puerto Rico reached the Class-A Advanced level with the Carolina League's Frederick Keys in 2019.
"Juan is going to be exciting to watch this year," said manager Logan Watkins. "He has spent time in affiliated ball and had some great years for Milwaukee in the American Association. Last season was a down year for him due to fatigue from all the innings he pitched in 2023. Once he had time to recover, he performed very well in winter ball. There's no substitute for experience and I think he will be a big addition to our pitching staff this season."
Winnipeg now has 23 players under contract for the 2025 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins April 26.
