Priester allowed one run on one hit and a walk in two-thirds of an inning against the Orioles on Monday, DK Pittsburgh Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The organization's top pitching prospect, who isn't expected to debut in the majors for two or three seasons, showcased a 97 mph fastball and a sharp-breaking curve. "We told him right away, 'You're not making the club,' so I think it's just a chance to see him," manager Derek Shelton said before the game. Priester is in camp to work with the coaching staff. Teams were permitted to bring up to 75 players to camp, and minor-league spring training will not start until after the big team goes north. The 2019 first-round draft pick has compiled a 3.19 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 41:14 K:BB in 36.2 professional innings.

Priester was invited to Pittsburgh's major-league camp Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Priester will get the chance to impress the Pirates' big-league coaching staff, though he's unlikely to be auditioning for an Opening Day roster spot. The 2019 18th overall pick recorded a 3.19 ERA in his professional debut that season, though that came in just 36.2 innings, none of which came in full-season ball.

The Pirates added Priester to their 60-man roster pool Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

He'll be bound for the Pirates' alternate training site in Altoona, allowing the organization to monitor his development more closely with no minor-league season taking place in 2020. A first-round pick in the 2019 first-year player draft, the 19-year-old Priester posted a 3.19 ERA and 41:14 K:BB over his 36.2 innings at the rookie-ball level last season.
