The Pittsburgh Pirates have seen some really strong starting pitching this year in their minor league system. This has mainly come from some of their better-known prospects. Pitchers like Mitch Keller, Nick Kingham, and Dario Agrazal have been consistent in minor league reports for their performances.
At the beginning of the year, the big pitching prospect of note at High-A Bradenton was righty Luis Escobar. However, he has struggled, pitching to a 4.82 ERA thus far this season. Instead, a new pitcher is coming onto the scene as the ace for the Marauders.
