Pirates' Starter Shows Promise in Recent Performance

Bubba Chandler, the undeniably talented Pirates starter, showed signs of consistency against the Yankees. He allowed just two batted balls and walked only one batter over six innings.

Though he’s struggled with control this season, Chandler managed to throw strikes at a 68% clip and utilized his slider in an unusual way for more impact. His pitches veered towards cutter territory, potentially helping him avoid walks while still maintaining strikeout potential.

Bubba Chandler's outing was a step forward but not enough to recommend him as a top Fantasy option yet. Control remains a significant issue despite his effective pitch command and improved location.
