Pirates Prospects Player of the Week: Mike Burrows

There was some competition for the Player of the Week title, as three different players got votes for the top spot. Altoona’s Mike Burrows would likely get plenty of votes for the 2022 Player of the Year if the season ended today (it would also be a very short season). He has looked solid/strong in all six starts this year, as the Pittsburgh Pirates work him on a limited pitch count due to missed time last year. He pitched twice last week, which kept down his pitch count in the second outing. Burrows threw 8.2 innings total last week, giving up two runs on five hits, with three walks and 12 strikeouts.
