MLB debut coming?
CPittsburgh Pirates

Koch joined Pittsburgh as a member of the taxi squad Wednesday, per Alex Stumpf of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
The 35-year-old has been in the Pirates organization since 2018 and is now on the cusp of his first taste of the big leagues as Yasmani Grandal is banged up with groin issue. If Grandal ends up on the injured list, it likely won't be long before Koch makes his MLB debut as the backup to Joey Bart.
