Agrazal signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates as an international free agent on July 1, 2012. He made his professional debut in 2013 with the Dominican Summer League Pirates and spent the whole season there, going 6–0 with a 2.40 ERA in 13 games (12 starts). In 2014, he played for the rookie-level Gulf Coast League Pirates where he was 3–4 with a 4.20 ERA in 12 starts, and in 2015, he pitched for the Low-A West Virginia Black Bears where he compiled a 6–5 record, 2.72 ERA, and 1.08 WHIP in 14 games started. Agrazal spent 2016 with the Single-A West Virginia Power where he was 8–12 with a 4.20 ERA in 27 starts and 2017 with the High-A Bradenton Marauders where he posted a 5–3 record and 2.91 ERA in 14 games (13 starts), along with pitching in one game for the Double-A Altoona Curve.[1]

The Pirates added Agrazal to their 40-man roster after the 2017 season, in order to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[2] He began the 2018 season with Altoona[3] and also spent time with Bradenton. In 17 games (16 starts) with the two teams, he went 5–6 with a 3.65 ERA.[4]

Agrazal was assigned to the Tigers' alternate training site when the league resumed play in the summer. His contract was purchased on July 23, 2020, and Agrazal was slated to be a fifth starter.[10] He was placed on the 10-day injured list on July 27 with right forearm strain.[11] The Tigers transferred him to the 45-day injured list on August 19, ending his 2020 season before he could pitch in a single game.[12] On October 27, Agrazal was outrighted off of the 40-man roster.[13] He became a free agent on November 2.[14]
