So far this spring few players have created more buzz in Pittsburgh Pirates camp than relief prospect Blake Cederlind. This is for good reason. After all, Cederlind is the team’s top relief pitching prospect and has regularly been touching 100+ MPH this spring.
The results have also been there for Cederlind in Grapefruit League action. Cederlind has pitched in three games this spring logging 2.2 innings of work. In these 2.2 innings pitched he has not allowed a hit, walked a pair and struck out five. Combine these results and his power stuff with the confidence and swag he has on the mound, plus his blonde flow, and it is safe to say he has introduced himself to Pirate fans this spring.
