| McEffect Report: Nick Kingham was a high ceiling prep pitcher that the Pirates took a chance on in 2010. He signed in time to pitch 3 whole innings in the Gulf Coast League that summer. He surrenered 3 hits and struck out 2 in those innings. He pitched the 2011 season in State College and was very good, posting a 2.15 ERA with 6.0 K/9 and 1.9 BB/9 in 71.0 innings. His fastball doesn't impress too many people as it reaches the lower 90's at best. He has good size and still has a lot of work to do before he's ready to be considered a legitimate big league prospect. Kingham will pitch in A ball again this year, but has more upside than a lot of the other pitchers in the system, so keep an eye on him. |
