There was a lineage developing in the Pittsburgh Pirates' starting rotation, and it wasn't good — not for the Pirates, at least. Charlie Morton, Gerrit Cole, Joe Musgrove, Tyler Glasnow: Between Pittsburgh's most recent postseason run in 2015 and 2021, a veritable All-Star rotation's worth of pitchers spent early-career time with the Pirates but reached their full potential only after departing for new teams.
, Keller is providing reason for lasting optimism that pitchers can develop into stars in Pittsburgh, that the organization will turn over every rock looking for a winning formula.“The thing that I appreciate about Mitch is he's come to the big leagues, and he's had his bumps and bruises, but along the way — and I think we think about this organizationally, we're always trying to get better — he never took the mindset of like, ‘OK, hey, I failed,’” the manager said.
The day after his rough 2021 season ended, Keller sought out Tread Athletics, one of several private performance gyms that have become breeding grounds for pitching innovation. So yes, Keller has seen more technology in the mix and more emphasis on pitch design — trends across just about every organization. He has also noted a shift in the way the Pirates steer pitchers toward their future forms.
“I have an arsenal for righties and lefties, and just being able to command all of them at any given time is definitely a huge, huge strength of mine,” Keller said. “I would say the strength for me is probably the sinker, the sweeper — and the cutter to lefties has been huge for me, too.”
