Quinn Priester is pitching at a level for the Milwaukee Brewers that the Pittsburgh Pirates had always hoped he would for them.
Last year at this time, Priester’s journey to being in the starting pitching rotation of an MLB club had stalled. Two stints with Triple-A Worcester (MA) and Indianapolis of the International League, being traded from Pittsburgh to Boston, and netting 17 starting assignments left Priester with a handful of uncertainties leading into Spring training 2025. When camp broke, and Priester was again assigned to the Worcester WooSox, 4o miles west of Boston, the Pirate’s former top draft pick in 2019 seemed destined for another season of uncertainty.
