Which young Pirates have truly established themselves? Should Paul Skenes make MLB debut this year?
On the latest episode of the Pitching In podcast, Post-Gazette Pirates beat writer Jason Mackey and AT&T SportsNet analyst and former Pirates catcher Michael McKenry examine whether what we've seen this season can actually constitute progress, plus looks at individual performance on the hitting and pitching sides. Our duo also discusses some developmental issues and questions with the Pirates and how they could impact the organization's younger players, especially pitcher Quinn Priester, Roansy Contreras and Luis Ortiz. There's talk of Paul Skenes' Double-A debut, with reaction to general manager Ben Cherington saying Skenes will only pitch in minor league games in 2023 and what next year could look like for No. 1 overall pick in July's MLB draft. They finish with a look at the Pirates Hall of Fame and how the Class of 2024 could look.
