Mitch Keller may have moved up a level, but the results stayed the same.
Keller made his debut with Class A Advanced Bradenton and led the club to a 8-1 win over Jupiter on Tuesday.
The Pirates' No. 5 prospect spun six scoreless frames, struck out seven and surrendered five hits. Keller threw 88 pitches, 58 strikes.
"It's a new level, so [I was] definitely anxious -- nerves, ready to get going," Keller told MiLB.com. "New team, new everything. Same game, though. That's what [manager Brian] Esposito told me from the [Class A West Virginia] Power when he told me the news. He said, 'It's the same game, do the same thing and you'll be fine.' I took that and went with it and it really worked out."
While it's always nice to make a strong impression in a debut, the scoreless start was simply the latest in a string of several from the right-hander.
Keller, MLB Pipeline's No. 80 overall prospect, hasn't given up an earned run in any of his past five starts, a span of 29 innings. During that stretch, he's given up 18 hits and struck out 35.
The rest of the best performances from top prospects Tuesday:
• Austin Meadows (Pirates' No. 2, No. 9 overall) broke out of his slump with a career-high five RBIs. After going hitless in four consecutive games, Meadows stepped up offensively for Triple-A Indianapolis, going 2-for-3 with the five runs driven in. The 21-year-old had a sac fly in the first, a two-run single in the third and a two-run homer in the fifth.
