After Paul Skenes, Who Is The Best Pirates Pitching Prospect?

Being the first overall pick, Paul Skenes established himself as the top pitching prospect, but who is after him?

The Pittsburgh Pirates have received a recent wave of hitting prospects to the major league team as of late, but behind the scenes in the minors, they are building themselves quite the stable of pitchers.

With the first pick of the 2023 draft, the Pirates took Paul Skenes who immediately became the team’s best pitching prospect, so the question is, who is currently number two? They have no shortage of options when going through the system.

The Case For Quinn Priester

The righty was the teams first round pick back in 2019, the last draft from Neal Huntington before Ben Cherington took over. Despite being a prep draft pick and not having a 2020 season due to COVID, Priester moved up the season quickly, making his major league debut this year.
