I don’t want to alarm anyone, but Khristian Curtis might be the 2nd best pitching prospect to come through the Pirates’ system lately.
This is better than Ashcraft looked in AAA and he’s a real pitcher unlike Chandler.
Kind of a lower-velo Schlittler profile, with a legit CH.
Khristian Curtis has genuinely unreal stuff. 10 Ks 19 whiffs tonight in 5.2 innings. 0 ER.
Can spin the hell out of the ball, around 2500 RPMs on every pitch. Gets good extension and his fastball sits 96-98 resulting in around -4 VAA, 6 whiffs tonight. Elite cutter and slider.
