9 Pirates you totally forgot wore Jaromir Jagr's number

Drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2009, Vic Black spent his college years at Texas-Baptist University. Unfortunately, his time within the Pittsburgh Pirates organization saw him deal with multiple arm issues. Despite early setbacks due to injuries, he persevered through the Pirates' farm system, continuing to showcase promise and talent.

In 2013, Black's efforts paid off, as he earned a spot on the Indianapolis Indians roster, the Triple-A affiliate. He was named a Triple-A All-Star during this season as well. His debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates that year saw him pitch in three games, displaying glimpses of his potential with a 4.50 ERA.

However, his time in Pittsburgh was short-lived, as he was traded to the New York Mets later that year. The Pirates traded Dilson Herrera and a player to be named later to the New York Mets for outfielder Marlon Byrd and catcher John Buck. Despite being traded away by the Pirates, Black's journey in baseball continued and he would find himself back with the organization eventually.

Today, he serves as the Minor League Pitching and Throwing Coordinator for the Pittsburgh Pirates, transitioning from player to mentor. Black had a lot of upside as a backend reliever, and he showed that potential at times. However, the arm issues caught up to Black, and he was never able to reach that full potential.
