Wilber Dotel Might Be the Pirates’ Next Pitching Hit

Wilber Dotel’s MLB debut was not perfect, but it was still a really encouraging first look. Alex Stumpf breaks down what stood out from Dotel’s outing, why the Pirates were willing to call him up now, and what his long-term role could look like in Pittsburgh. From the fastball touching 100 to the bigger picture of the Pirates’ pitching depth, this episode looks at why Dotel could be more than just a short-term bullpen arm.
