Peter Strzelecki, a right-handed relief pitcher, was acquired by the Pirates from the Guardians after being designated for assignment. Born in Queens, N.Y., he played at Santaluces Community High School and later at Palm Beach State College before transferring to USF. Strzelecki was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Brewers in 2018, making his MLB debut in 2022 with a solid rookie season. In 2023, he was traded to the Diamondbacks but made only one appearance before being acquired by Cleveland, where he performed well with a 2.31 ERA in 10 games. He also had a successful stint in Triple-A, recording nine saves and a 5.01 ERA in 44 games.

Peter Strzelecki was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates after being designated for assignment by the Guardians. He had a solid showing in limited opportunities last season, recording a 2.31 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP over 11.2 innings. Throughout his three MLB seasons, he has maintained a 3.44 ERA and a 1.200 WHIP. With no spot available in Cleveland's strong bullpen, Strzelecki now has the chance to take on a more significant role with the Pirates, who are looking to improve their bottom-ranked relief performance.
