Impact Hartlieb missed out on a spot in the Pirates' Opening Day bullpen after showing spotty control (five walks in 6.1 innings) across his seven Grapefruit League appearances. The 27-year-old had a similarly bloated walk rate over his 21 outings with Pittsburgh in 2020 (7.7 BB/9 in 22.1 innings), so he'll likely need to sharpen his control at Triple-A Indianapolis before getting another look with the big club.
