Taking a Look at Pittsburgh Pirates Prospect Cameron Junker

I think the majority of you know by now I love pitching prospects. In a Pittsburgh Pirates organization that needs future pitchers to help this team down the line, one of the surprising under the radar prospects that can help the big club down the line is Cameron Junker.

Junker is a 22-year-old prospect from Ft. Thomas, Kentucky, that was drafted by the Pirates in the 10th round in the 2019 MLB Draft out of Notre Dame. As of now, he has an extremely effective fastball that tops around 96 MPH, as well as a slider that has the potential to be a plus pitch in his repertoire.
