Hunter Barco Strikes Out Seven in Latest Start on Sunday
Pittsburgh Pirates pitching prospect Hunter Barco spun another gem for Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday, allowing one earned run on one hit (a home run), one hit batsman, and no walks while striking out seven batters. This comes after six shutout innings last week in which he walked just one and struck out six. After not allowing a single run in his first six starts at Double-A, the former second-round draft pick was promoted to Triple-A, now with a 3.69 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and a 16.1 percent K-BB% for the Indians. With a few more starts like the last two, Barco could earn himself a major league debut this season, however, the southpaw isn't a stash candidate at this time.
