Summary
Pirates call up hard-earned prospect Khristian Curtis for doubleheader debut—after a brutal path paved with surgeries and minor league struggles. Drafted 12th round in 2023, Curtis’ journey includes Single-A to Triple-A, spring training, and a solid but inconsistent 2025 campaign. Armed with a 98 mph fastball and elite secondary pitches, he’s got the stuff to dominate—but needs to tame the homers and walks. His first MLB appearance could be a turning point—if he finds his strikeout pitch early, he might just be the sleeper breakout pitcher of the season.
