Quinn Priester Expected To Be Promoted Next Week
1 year agoPittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher and top-prospect Quinn Priester is expected to be promoted for his MLB debut next week, per beat writer Jason Mackey. Priester was the Pirates' first-round selection (18th overall) in the 2019 draft and is considered the team's fourth-best prospect, according to MLB Pipeline. The 22-year-old righty owns a 4.31 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, and 84:35 K/BB ratio across 87 2/3 innings (18 starts) with Triple-A Indianapolis. Priester will likely make his MLB debut on Monday or Tuesday against the Cleveland Guardians. He's worth a stream in NL-only and deep mixed leagues due to his prospect pedigree.
