    Episode 292 - Dahn on the Farm ft. Titus Dumitru

    Dahn On The Farm is BACK! 🚜⚾️ This week we sit down with Pittsburgh Pirates outfield prospect Titus Dumitru to talk about his incredible journey to pro ball and why he believes the Pirates organization is the perfect fit for his development. Originally drafted by the Atlanta Braves in 2024, Dumitru was acquired by Pittsburgh in 2025 in the trade that sent RHP Hunter Stratton to Atlanta. Now, he’s carving out his path in the Pirates farm system — and the story behind it is even better. From being lightly recruited out of high school in Oregon, to taking the junior college route, to committing to New Mexico State University, Titus bet on himself every step of the way. 💪 He opens up about the adjustments he’s made in pro ball, the mindset required to keep climbing, and how the Pirates player development system has helped elevate his game. If you love Pirates prospects, minor league breakdowns, and behind-the-scenes player stories — this one is for you. 👇 Drop a comment: What stands out most about Dumitru’s game?
