Bubba Chandler Strikes Out Eight In Four Shutout Innings At Triple-A
1 week agoPittsburgh Pirates pitching prospect Bubba Chandler made his second start of the season for Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, tossing four innings of shutout ball, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out eight batters. The righty was dialed in, throwing 46 of his 61 pitches for strikes (75%). Through two starts and six-and-two-thirds innings pitched, the Pirates' top prospect has yet to allow a run on two hits and a 5:12 BB:K. Back of the rotation guys Andrew Heaney and Carmen Mlodzinski pitched well enough in their last outings to potentially hold off a Chandler promotion for a little while longer, so perhaps the 22-year-old gets another start or two at Triple-A, but it may soon be time to consider stashing the 6-foot-3 hurler ahead of his inevitable call-up.
