Bucs Dugout, a Pittsburgh Pirates community

So far: 6.0 IP/1 H/0 R/0 ER/0 BB/7 SO The hit was an infield single. Opposing hitters can't hit his curveball. Taillon was removed after 6 innings. The line given above was his final total for the game.

A good passage: "'I'm a power fastball, curveball guy, but my pitching coach [Mike Steele] challenged me to throw my changeup more. That has kept guys off my fastball and stopped them just sitting on something hard. I feel like I have a three-pitch mix and that I can use any pitch in any count. That being said, the season is young and there is a lot of work to be done.'"
