Welcome to Bucco Breakfast, a new daily morning feature designed to help Pittsburgh Pirates fans through the offseason. Each day we’ll roll out a quick topic designed to spark conversation as well as provide some interesting baseball reading from around the web.
For this week’s Bucco Breakfast menu, we will look at how each Pirates’ starting pitcher earned his strikeouts in 2018. We previously took a look at Jameson Taillon, and today we will turn our attention to Chris Archer.
Archer famously came to the Pittsburgh Pirates with a built-in out pitch — his slider.
