Nick Kingham was ranked as MLB Pipeline’s number 74 prospect in baseball entering the 2015 season, and entering 2016 he ranked as the Pirates number 12 prospect. The former fourth round pick in 2010 stands at 6’6″ and 225 pounds. He has the size of a front line starter, but will likely be a mid rotation pitcher, and with the Pirates depth, a solid four starter. MLB Pipeline’s description of Kingham is very promising:
When healthy, Kingham pounds the strike zone with an above-average fastball and changeup as well as a usable breaking ball. While not overpowering, he uses his 6-foot-6 frame well to throw downhill.
