Is Carmen Mlodzinski Actually the Pirates’ Best 5th Starter Option?
Description
Alex Stumpf takes a deep dive into one of the Pirates’ most interesting spring storylines: Carmen Mlodzinski’s case for the fifth starter job. Alex breaks down why the 2025 starting experiment fell apart, what changed in Mlodzinski’s pitch mix, and why his splitter could be the key to handling left-handed hitters this time around. He also looks at the bigger rotation picture, the other names in the mix, and why Pittsburgh may have more to gain by giving Mlodzinski another real shot to start.
