Braxton Ashcraft Is Forcing a Bigger Pirates Conversation

Braxton Ashcraft turned in one of the best starts by a Pirates pitcher this season, and Alex Stumpf breaks down why it mattered far beyond the box score. From the efficiency, to the pitch mix, to the in-game adjustments, this episode of OffBeat looks at why Ashcraft’s latest outing felt like a major step forward.

Alex dives into Ashcraft’s seven-inning performance, how his slider and sinker worked together, why his ability to self-correct stood out, and what this could mean for the Pirates rotation moving forward. If Braxton Ashcraft keeps pitching like this, the conversation around his role in Pittsburgh is only going to get louder.
