Bubba Chandler has become a household name as the No. 2 prospect in baseball. An electric arm who should debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates in a matter of weeks, Chandler has taken all the attention as the organization’s next star starter.
Chandler, Thomas Harrington, and Mike Burrows have stolen headlines as right-handed rotation options, but it’s a college lefty that is off to the best start.
Hunter Barco was selected by the Pirates in the second round of the 2022 MLB Draft. The Florida lefty needed Tommy John surgery after the draft and missed a large part of baseball activities for over a year.
