Yesterday’s Feature
The Pirates signed Khristian Curtis to an over-slot deal as an 12th round pick out of Arizona State. He made his professional debut this past Sunday. I broke down his pitch mix, and some things I liked from the righty in yesterday’s premium feature.
Today’s Feature
Ethan is back for another feature, taking a look at the Pirates 2024 Opening Day payroll breakdown.
Bubba looking electric today. Didn't start well. Walked first two batters on 9 pitches, then setting everyone down since.
Really have to credit Marco for hanging in there. Looked like a Wil Crowe kinda game for a minute there.
