A little over a week into Spring Training games, the Pittsburgh Pirates have started to make the first few cuts to their camp roster, sending a total of seven players back to the minor league side of things.
There wasn’t too much to go by, but there’s a very strong argument that Kyle Nicolas and Jared Jones — two of the players reassigned to minor league camp — were some of the best pitchers, performance wise, during the early Spring Training games.
Nicolas played in two games, pitching three innings total, and allowed just one hit and one walk while striking out two.
