Pittsburgh Pirates led top prospects Konnor Griffin and Termarr Johnson unleash some offense and plate 4 runs in the 7th inning. Griffin showed off his speed tool going first to third in the inning.

Bubba Chandler made his spring debut today going 1 inning. Fastball was 95+ but didn't have his best control on the day. Looking forward to watching his arsenal throughout spring training.

4 - Home Run - Matt Gorski stole the show today. The swing is a little unorthodox but there is a lot of power in that swing. The second homer (grand slam) was a missile deep left. Could he compete for at bats in right field in 2025?

3 - Triple - A healthy debut from Endy Rodriguez and Henry Davis. Both former top 100 prospects had good at bats and Henry showed an electric arm throwing out one of the fastest prospects in all of baseball.

2 - Double - DJ Stewert makes a solid first impression with a double and a homer plus a nice catch in RF. Could be battling of the final bench spot with the Pirates.

1 - Single - Liked the one inning performances of Orioles Brian Baker and Pirates Mike Burrows. Quick innings, solid work.

Pirates prospect Matt Gorski into the jet stream in left center drives a homer off of former top prospect Corbin Martin. Gorski has some big power.

Kyle Nicolas is wild in his first spring training outting of the year. Nicolas has back end stuff but must throw strikes or will end up starting the year back in Indianapolis

Carmen Mlodzinski continues his wild second inning with a wild pitch which scores a run. 31 pitches in my guess is he is on a 40 pitch count.

Carmen Mlodzinski looked solid in his first inning of work but a little bit wild with his pitches in his second inning. Kind of suprised he went out for a second inning.

Orioles Pitcher "Big Al" Suarez struggled to find the plate with his offspeed stuff. Pirates batters laid off those pitches and hit the fastball hard in the 1st inning. Pirates plate two on a DJ Stewert double.

The NCAA needs to reduce the number of bowl games. As a Pitt grad I don't want to see Pitt vs Toledo in the Nobody Cares Bowl. I also am watching Pitts 5th string qb because the NCAA opens the transfer portal during bowl season which they need to fix. Bad football all around
