BRADENTON, Fla. -- At just 21, you can’t really call Quinn Priester a veteran, but this is his third spring training and his fourth season as a pro. There aren’t too many people in Pirate City who can claim that.
You also can’t fault anyone eager for the top 100 prospect and 2021 Class High-A East League pitcher of the year to advance and get to the majors. It’s not like he’s lagging behind. He’ll make the jump to Class AA Altoona this year, and a midseason promotion could very well be in the cards too.
