Related Topics: Tanner Houck

He’s Quinn Priester, formerly of the Pittsburgh Pirates. He’s a former first-round pick, (2019, pick 18), and highly touted prospect who hasn’t quite caught on in the Major Leagues.

What position does he play?

He’s a right-handed pitcher. He's worked as a starting pitcher through the minors and most of his Major League career. Priester stands 6’3” with a sturdy frame, profiling as a rotation arm.

What’s his role on the 2024 Red Sox?

Priester’s been optioned to Worcester for now, although it wouldn’t be surprising to see him find his way onto the MLB roster at some point this season.
