2024 Fantasy Outlook
Priester had strong results throughout his climb through the Pirates' minor-league system, primarily based on his slider and curveball. That came to a crashing halt upon his promotion to the majors in mid-July of 2023, with the end result being a 7.74 ERA and 1.70 WHIP across 50 innings. He curiously threw his curveball only 13 percent of the time. While he relied more heavily on his slider (23 percent), the results were a mixed bag as it was hit hard (.659) but did generate whiffs. The real opportunity for a step forward comes from his fastball, which has been a red flag in his profile for those who rely more heavily on data for prospect evaluation. Those concerns came to fruition in Pittsburgh, as his four-seamer was tagged for a .818 slugging percentage by opposing hitters. During the offseason, teammate Henry Davis disclosed that Priester revamped his mechanics to regain velocity that he lost in 2023. In order for Priester to get anywhere near reaching the potential his prospect pedigree implies, he'll need the pitch to be more effective, giving him the ability to play his more advanced offspeed and breaking stuff off the heater. Spring training should give us a hint of whether the offseason changes were effective, which will also dictate potential interest once draft season heats up. Read Past Outlooks
Notches win in Red Sox debut
Priester (3-6) pitched five innings of one-run ball to pick up the win Sunday against the Rays, allowing four hits and one walk while striking out two.
ANALYSIS
Called up Sunday to make his Red Sox debut, Priester held his own to notch his third win of the season. The right-hander did not allow an extra-base hit, limiting the Rays to just four singles thanks to a robust 12:2 GB:FB. Acquired from Pittsburgh at the trade deadline, Priester struggled to a 5.40 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 42:12 K:BB in 38.1 innings (nine starts) for Triple-A Worcester. Sunday's start was a step in the right direction, but Priester likely needs more time to develop in the minor leagues before becoming a major-league asset. The 24-year-old owns an ugly 6.23 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 69:41 K:BB in 94.2 career MLB innings (15 starts).

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
2020
Priester advanced to the upper levels of the Pirates system in 2022, though an oblique injury cost him two months worth of starts. When he was on the field, Priester largely lived up to expectations, as he maintained a 2.87 ERA and 1.20 WHIP across 81 innings with Double-A Altoona, which led to a promotion to Triple-A Indianapolis in the waning weeks of the season. One potential reason for concern was a dip in strikeout rate - a potentially concerning sign for his fantasy value once he reaches the major leagues and something to monitor to begin 2023. Despite the slight step back in that regard, Priester looks like a strong candidate to fill a mid-rotation role for several seasons, and he could get at least a short look in Pittsburgh in 2023 after he built up his innings total with 23 supplementary frames in the Arizona Fall League.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Promotion on horizon?
According to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, Red Sox GM Craig Breslow said Sunday that Priester will be in the mix for big-league starts during the final stretch of the season.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander was acquired from Pittsburgh ahead of the July 30 trade deadline, but since the trade he's struggled in three outings for Triple-A Worcester with an 8.74 ERA across 11.1 innings. Priester made 10 appearances for the Pirates this season and posted a 5.04 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 31:13 K:BB across 44.2 innings, so he's not likely to have much fantasy upside if given a look with the Red Sox down the stretch.
