"Mlodzinski enters the season with a 3.25 earned run average in 185 2/3 innings as a swingman. He has struck out 21.7% of batters faced while giving out walks at an 8.2% clip."
"There seems to be some belief he could find a new gear. Mlodzinski tells Mackey that he's feeling much better now compared to a year ago thanks to the development of his splitter and curveball."
"Mlodzinski has allowed a line of .214/.281/.294 when facing a lineup for the first time as a starter but a massive .381/.422/.607 line the second time through."
"For what it's worth, he had a great camp. Spring performances always need to be taken with a grain of salt but he posted a 2.92 ERA."
Carmen Mlodzinski has earned a rotation spot for the Pirates, while José Urquidy and Hunter Barco will start in the bullpen, and Mike Clevinger is assigned to Triple-A. The Pirates utilized their pitching depth to strengthen their position player group through trades, including flipping Johan Oviedo for outfielder Jhostynxon García. Mlodzinski enters the season with a 3.25 ERA and has shown improvement with his splitter and curveball, aiming for better performance against lineups.
