Quinn Priester is a fantasy baseball SP prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Quinn Priester, SP, Pittsburgh Pirates
ANALYSIS: The first prep pitcher taken in the 2018 draft when the Pirates selected him 18th overall, Priester has had his ups and downs along his development path, all the while showcasing major league-quality overall stuff when he's healthy and commanding and controlling his arsenal of pitches.
After pitching across all four full-season levels in 2022 as well as making six starts in the Arizona Fall League, Priester opened the 2023 season with Triple-A Indianapolis. While he's posting a 4.12 ERA thus far, all of his baseline numbers have improved over his 2022 performance, primarily done at lower levels.
Priester once worked with upper-90s velocity, but now peaks around 95-96, but he's developed multiple pitch options to compensate, with Baseball Savant classifying Quinn with six pitches that he used at least 10 times between two starts against Iowa this past week. Between the two starts, he generated 31 swings and misses, with all six pitches recording at least one whiff.
VERDICT: The profile for Priester is likely more mid-rotation starter than an ace, but he could be an inning-eater at the big-league level. He should be rostered in all dynasty formats.
