The future role of Pittsburgh Pirates pitching prospect Michael Burrows could be dependent on how he performs in this upcoming minor league season

The Pittsburgh Pirates used their 11th round pick in 2018 to select pitcher Michael Burrows out of Waterford High School in Connecticut. Burrows has yet to play a full season professionally. While I do believe he could potentially be part of the long-term plans for the Pirates, 2021 could be an important season in deciding what role he plays.
