Pirates Prospect Watch: Bubba Chandler’s Shutout, Nick Dombkowski’s Slider

ALTOONA, PA – I enjoyed writing the Prospect Watch from Greensboro last week so much that I decided to try it out this week in Altoona. Bubba Chandler led the system on Tuesday, and I’ve got several reports from Altoona’s 9-2 win over Akron.

Player of the Day

BUBBA CHANDLER, RHP, GREENSBORO

I saw Chandler for the first time, during his last time out. He allowed five runs on four hits in six innings that time, heavily influenced by three home runs in the home park. The home runs were causing him to speed up his motions on the mound, which led to more hits and homers.
