Quinn Priester Stats

Pittsburgh Pirates top prospect Quinn Priester will make his MLB debut on Monday against the Cleveland Guardians. The Pirates' No. 4 prospect owns a mediocre 4.31 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, and 84:35 K/BB ratio in Triple-A this season, but the Bucs need pitching help immediately and are hoping Priester can give them that. For now, it is best to leave the rookie on the waiver wire in redraft leagues outside of NL-only and 15-teamers. He makes for a risky streaming option on Monday, even with a good matchup. Keep a close eye on the 22-year-old, though, as he has some upside for the rest of the season.

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher and top-prospect Quinn Priester is expected to be promoted for his MLB debut next week, per beat writer Jason Mackey. Priester was the Pirates' first-round selection (18th overall) in the 2019 draft and is considered the team's fourth-best prospect, according to MLB Pipeline. The 22-year-old righty owns a 4.31 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, and 84:35 K/BB ratio across 87 2/3 innings (18 starts) with Triple-A Indianapolis. Priester will likely make his MLB debut on Monday or Tuesday against the Cleveland Guardians. He's worth a stream in NL-only and deep mixed leagues due to his prospect pedigree.

Pittsburgh Pirates pitching prospect Quinn Priester put together his best performance of the season for Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday. The right-hander tossed a season-high seven innings and allowed five hits, one run, one walk and struck out nine. The nine strikeouts matched his previous high for the season. The former first round pick in 2019 missed some time in 2022 with an oblique injury, but that hasn't slowed his development as he is knocking on the door for a chance with the Pirates in 2023. Priester offers a four-pitch mix, with his curveball being his best pitch and a fastball in the 90's. For the season, the 22-year-old owns a 4.66 ERA with 42 strikeouts in 38 2/3 innings over eight starts. Don't let the ERA confuse you as most of that was due to a bad outing that he had in his first start of the season that he allowed six runs in. He is a name for managers in dynasty and redraft leagues to consider stashing with the Pirates needing pitching and having the ability to be patient with their young arm during a rebuild season.
