Pirates call up top pitching prospect Bubba Chandler
Digest more
Chandler is the No. 1 pitching prospect in baseball, per MLB Pipeline's rankings. The 6-foot-3 right-hander had a 4.05 ERA and a 1.48 ERA with 121 strikeouts and 53 walks across 24 starts and 100 innings this season with the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians.
Growing up, the Chandlers would have family basketball games where Bubba, the baby of the family, would team up with his dad, Ruben. His sisters, Jordan and Cody, and his mom, Bobbi, would normally win. It was a family of athletes, and Chandler’s older sisters set the pace by being stars in track, basketball and softball.
Three top fantasy baseball prospects - Bubba Chandler, Sal Stewart, Brandon Sproat - that can make big impacts. These MLB prospects are waiver wire pickups or stashes.
