No worries, I get to most requests as time allows. Post a cropped screenshot of his face in the game. I had done one of him not too long ago. If it's mine, I'll revisit it if there is an issue. thx

When the Pirates looked to trade Starling Marte before the 2020 season, they wanted to make sure they got some high-end talent, even if it meant waiting for a return on the investment. They found what they were looking for with the D-backs, sending the All-Star outfielder to Arizona in return for right-hander Brennan Malone and Peguero, who had signed for $475,000 back in July 2017 and was coming off a scintillating United States debut in Rookie ball in 2019. After Peguero opened a lot of eyes at the Pirates’ alternate training site in 2020, he was challenged in '21 with a move to High-A, where he was the regular shortstop of a playoff team and nearly three years younger than his contemporaries in the league.

A right-handed hitter, Peguero routinely shows the ability to hit the ball with outstanding exit velocities and premium bat speed, giving him the chance to eventually be a plus hitter. He continues to get stronger as he matures and could also have at least average power, especially if he can figure out who he is as a hitter. He can get over-aggressive and try to do too much in each at-bat, but he improved in terms of his consistency from AB to AB as the 2021 season wore on.

Peguero is a plus runner who has shown he can steal a base and uses that speed to cover plenty of ground at shortstop, a position he should be able to play long term. He gets as high marks for his aptitude and passion for the game as he does his tools, and he’ll play all of 2022 at age 21, with the Pirates excited to see him continue bonding with his future double-play partner, Nick Gonzales. - mlb.com

Pirates To Select Yerry De Los Santos, mlbtraderumors.com

After signing with the Pirates as an amateur free agent in 2015, the 24-year-old De Los Santos is now getting his first taste of Major League action. While De Los Santos isn’t ranked within the top 30 Pittsburgh prospects by either MLB Pipeline or Baseball America, it isn’t uncommon for relievers to be omitted from those lists, even when a reliever posts De Los Santos’ kinds of eye-popping numbers. Since becoming a full-time reliever in 2017, De Los Santos has a 1.63 ERA and 32.3% strikeout rate over 115 2/3 innings — this includes a 1.72 ERA, 34.5% strikeout rate, and 3.4% walk rate over 15 2/3 frames at Triple-A this season.

Hernandez, made his big-league debut with Texas last year and batted .217/.315/.252 in 166 trips to the plate. His work in Triple-A, where he slashed .250/.424/.323 in 261 plate appearances, was far better. Hernandez walked at a gaudy 20.3% clip in Triple-A last season and has a penchant for drawing free passes and making contact, albeit rarely with any real power. He’s walked in more than 15% of his professional plate appearances and also possesses plenty of speed, evidenced by 23 steals in the minors and another 11 in the big leagues last season.

Hernandez has experience all over the infield and has all three minor league option years remaining, so he’ll give the D-backs some flexibility and versatility not only in 2022 but for the foreseeable future. He can be controlled for at least the next six seasons, and possibly more, depending on how much big-league time he accrues while he has those options remaining. - MLB Trade Rumors on his being traded earlier this year to Arizona

Tyler Holton, who finished his FSU career at 13-7 with a 2.44 ERA, was drafted in the ninth round by the Diamondbacks four months later. He didn't return to the mound until July 2019. Holton also returned to FSU and graduated in 2021. "I was told by our (athletic trainers) he was the hardest-working guy they had ever seen during his rehab," FSU coach Mike Martin, Jr. said. "He was a great clubhouse guy and his teammates always enjoyed being around him. You could see that anything he did, he gave 100 percent. It's just great to see."

Holton, 25, is not overpowering, but instead relies on his strike-throwing ability and strong secondary pitches in his change-up and curveball. He had made five relief appearances for Triple-A Reno this season, posting a 6.75 ERA with 10 strikeouts in eight innings. He's 10-4 overall in three minor-league seasons with 144 strikeouts in 110 innings. Holton was promoted Thursday when Arizona reliever J.B. Wendelken was placed on the injured list. Holton immediately telephoned his father but left a voicemail when he didn't answer because Kelley was mowing the lawn. The message? "You might want to save this message because your son’s a big leaguer, I’m gonna call you back." - tallahassee.com

He's a smiler, so had to go back and use the Florida State picture.

Okay, thank you!

Corbin Carroll, one of the top prospects in minor-league baseball, made his Triple-A debut with the Reno Aces on Sunday and showed why he's a consensus top-10 farmhand in the game. The 21-year-old outfielder cracked a 441-foot homer run in the third inning and had a key outfield assist in the ninth inning to help Reno outlast Tacoma, 3-2, in 11 innings.

"That was nice," Carroll told MLB.com of his first Triple-A hit being a homer. "It was special to be able to get that first hit and first home run on the same swing. I was able to get the ball back, which I think will go directly to mom. ... There were a few added nerves today. I think spending some time recently in Arizona (rehabbing an undisclosed injury) added to that a little bit. I've worked hard to get here, and it felt really special. The guys in the clubhouse did a nice job of letting me know it's still the same game."

A five-tool prospect who was the 16th pick of the 2019 draft, Carroll is MLB.com's No. 3 prospect in baseball. FanGraphs ranks him as the No. 9 prospect in baseball. ESPN listed him among its eight prospects in the minors who could be the best player not in the big leagues right now.

Prospect #38 Blake Workman, RHP, Double-AA Amarillo Sod Poodles

Blake has the potential to become a solid late innings pitcher. Over Blake's first 4 pro seasons, he has finished 38 games with a great 3.59 ERA and 186 Ks in only 145.1 innings. Blake's off to an even better start this year with Double-AA as he has 15 Ks and only 1 walk in 12.1 innings. Workman knows how to work the strike zone. He doesn't walk anyone. Over those 145.1 innings, Workman has walked 29 batters. That's good for a 1.8 BB/9 ratio. He has a strong fastball with solid off-speed pitches to keep hitters off-balance while still pumping pitches in the strike zone.

It takes a huge level of confidence in yourself to do that relentlessly and not be scared of getting smoked. The former 22nd-round pick in the 18' draft is only 24 and might be able to reach the MLB by the end of the year. At the very least, I see him competing for a spot in the 23' bullpen for the Dbacks. After all, even FIP and xFIP like Workman as they gave him around a 3.90 for his number. I'm a Blake Workman fan and I think he's just the latest Diamondbacks prospect to go unnoticed. - venomstrikes.com

Not a lot of headshots where he doesn't have a huge smile. Tough to work around it. This is prob the best I can do. Another that might have more options if he makes the team and comes to Spring Training next year for photo day. Close enough for now, I'd say, and imo certainly better than the one you have, percolaten.

[diesel230]

Could you do Ivan Armstrong please. The Marlins acquired him in a trade and he shot up the system to the Marlins in my save. This is the only picture i can find of him.

Thanks

[percolaten]

Fantastic, thank you! If you don't mind, I can slowly keep them coming as I play my 2022 D-Backs sim, of course no pressure if you don't feel like doing them. Seems like every team could use a few redo's, usually of prospects. These are the last ones on the Pirates who could use new facegens. Carmen Mlodzinski, Eli Wilson, Jack Suwinski, and...

[percolaten]

...Taylor Floyd, Trey McGough and Travis Swaggerty.

[LansdowneSt]

I don't mind doing a few prospects esp. the handful Amazin' asks for, or the guy who developed in the system and is becoming a star on your team (like the Marlin above) or some of the worst random ones, but I still have 343 players on MLB rosters to power through in the next few months plus, well, 20,755 more total MLB'ers from history to get to before the decade is out!

So don't be offended if it takes a while or if I never get to it. It's never intentional, just balancing my desire to get to the MLB'ers and not drive my wife and daughter crazy by making facegens all day

[LansdowneSt]

To quote Fangraphs: "Armstrong looks like an NFL guard on-mound. He has a mid-90s fastball and an average slider."

Made a facegen for him per request.

[LansdowneSt]

Scouting grades: Fastball: 60 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 55 | Control: 45 | Overall: 45

Mlodzinski threw just 81 2/3 innings over three years at South Carolina, serving as a swingman as a freshman, missing nearly all of his sophomore year in 2019 with a broken foot and then having to deal with the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. He showed off enough stuff, especially with a very strong turn in the Cape Cod League in ’19, to land at pick No. 31 overall to the Pirates in the 2020 Draft. He threw well in his pro debut with High-A Greensboro but was limited to 50 1/3 innings because of a shoulder issue. He made up for lost time with seven relief outings in the Arizona Fall League.

With a legitimate three-pitch mix, Mlodzinski does have a chance to start. He’ll typically sit around 94-95 mph but can reach back for upper-90s. In the past, he leaned on a heater with sink and run to it, but he’s worked on getting a four-seamer up in the zone as well. He throws his slider in the low-80s and it features cutter-like action. His changeup is a third above-average pitch at times, thrown with good deception and sink.

Mlodzinski has to prove he can handle a larger workload and stay healthy, as well as command the baseball more effectively for him to start long-term. The Pirates still view him as a future member of the big-league rotation, with a move to the upper levels a true test.

Redid the facegen.

[percolaten]

Much appreciated! I understand completely, I'll only point out the ones in need of a good facegen, and if they don't get done, that's ok. I'd do them myself if there was facegen creator for Mac.

Bill Hall is having a breakout season in my AtHoL save and I'd love to reward him with an FG upgrade if anyone wants to have a crack.

Milwaukee Brewers utility legend, Bill Hall, is retiring with the Crew! Now, if you’re like me, your first thought was, “Bill Hall isn’t retired?” Nope! Sure, he hasn’t played a professional game since 2014 for an Indy team. Sure, he was also inducted into the Milwaukee Brewers’ Walk of Fame in 2014. But now, at the ripe ol’ age of 39, Hall is officially hanging up the cleats.

The Brewers selected Hall in the sixth round of the 1998 MLB First-Year Player Draft. He’d make his debut with the team in 2002. Hall would then serve as a super utility player for the team, until he’d take over at shortstop for an injured JJ Hardy in 2006. During that ‘06 season, Hall would post a superb .270/.345/.553 line with 35 homers. Most famously that season, he hit a game-winning homer on Mother’s Day. Over his eight seasons with the Crew, Hall hit .253/.312/.446 with 102 homers, which ranks 19th overall in franchise history. According to Baseball-Reference, that’s good for a 9.3 WAR. He also provided a wealth of memories. - brewcrewball.com, Sept 2019

Lans would you have time to do some of the college players being drafted that don't have pics?
If so I'll start with Creighton's Alan Roden
