Pirates’ Pitching Shuffle Finds New Star

Pirates pull another starter, Antwone Kelly, into the bullpen—his 99-mph fastball and Aruban heritage make this move electric. Kelly, 22, is the first pitcher from Aruba in 15 years to reach the majors, and he’s already calling his parents from a video game session as they prep to fly in. He’s not fazed by the switch, embracing the role with veteran guidance and a fireball-ready mindset. With Wilber Dotel and Carmen Mlodzinski already thriving in relief, Kelly’s move is part of Pittsburgh’s bold plan to maximize pitching depth. He’s set to face the Marlins—history, hype, and high heat all in one. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
