Three years ago Pittsburgh Pirates prospect Nick Kingham looked to be on the fast track to the big leagues, and he was a consensus top 100 prospect in baseball. Furthermore, he was posting better numbers than top pitching prospect Jameson Taillon at each level. Meanwhile, Taillon underwent Tommy-John surgery in 2014, propelling Kingham on track to be the first of many talented pitchers to reach the majors in the coming years.
