The Pittsburgh Pirates have had five pitchers — including Jose Quintana — start 83% (92 of 111) of their games so far.

  • JT Brubaker – 21 starts
  • Jose Quintana – 20 starts
  • Mitch Keller – 20 starts
  • Zach Thompson – 19 starts
  • Bryse Wilson – 12 starts

For comparison, in 2021 the top five pitchers in starts only accounted for 64% (104 of 162) of the starts.

  • Wil Crowe – 25 starts
  • JT Brubaker – 24 starts
  • Mitch Keller – 23 starts
  • Tyler Anderson – 18 starts
  • Chad Kuhl – 14 starts

As has been mentioned lately, it appears that we are finally seeing some pitchers turn a corner under Oscar Marin’s tutelage.
