The Pittsburgh Pirates are through with their first series of the season, where we saw some good, some bad and some ugly when it came to the pitching staff.
Considering the contrast of highs and lows, it makes sense to see the Pirates clock in at No. 14 in Bleacher Report writer Joel Reuter’s pitching staff power rankings.
The Pirates have as much long-term upside in the rotation as any team in baseball with Paul Skenes headlining a group of talented young starters that also includes 2024 rookie Jared Jones and prospects Bubba Chandler, Thomas Harrington and Braxton Ashcraft.
