The Pittsburgh Pirates today acquired infielder/outfielder Tyler Callihan from Cincinnati, in exchange for right-handed pitcher Kyle Nicolas.
The 25-year-old Callihan began the 2025 campaign with Louisville (Reds’ Triple-A), where he batted .303 (27-for-89) with four doubles, two triples, four home runs, 12 RBI, 16 walks, six stolen bases, 19 runs scored and a .938 OPS across his 24 games with the Bats from March 28-April 27.
He was recalled by the Reds on April 30 and made his Major League debut that day in a doubleheader vs. St. Louis (he started in left field in the first game, while entering at second base in the second game).
The native of Jacksonville, FL, recorded his first big league hit with an RBI single on May 3 vs. Washington. He suffered a season-ending, left forearm fracture after colliding with an outfield wall on May 5 at Atlanta.
Callihan, who was selected by Cincinnati out of the Providence School of Jacksonville (FL) in the third round of the 2019 First-Year Player Draft, hit .262 (387-for-1475) with 81 doubles, 18 triples, 37 home runs, 173 RBI, 88 stolen bases and 195 runs over 396 minor league games in the Reds organization from 2019-25.
He entered this season rated by both Baseball America and MLB Pipeline as Cincinnati’s No. 19 prospect. Callihan had a double, a solo home run, a walk and two runs in seven games with the Reds this spring.
Pittsburgh’s 40-man roster remains full.
