Pirates Top 30 Prospects No. 15: Zander Mueth Set Back By Injuries
Pittsburgh Pirates prospect Zander Mueth will look to have an injury-free 2026 season and throw more strikes.
This is one in a series of stories breaking down PBN’s Top 30 Pittsburgh Pirates prospects.
It took the Pirates nearly $1.8 million to pry Zander Mueth away from his college commitment to the University of Mississippi after making him the 67th pick in the 2023 draft.
The big right-handed pitcher who is listed at 6-foot-6 and 205 pounds was selected in the compensation B round, the third pick for the Pirates that year following Paul Skenes and Mitch Jebb.
The Pirates didn’t use Mueth in minor-league games until the 2024 season, starting in the Florida Complex League.
He found immediate success in his first taste of professional games.
In 13 appearances/12 starts in the FCL, Mueth went 6-1 with a sparkling 1.58 ERA and struck out 56 batters in 51.1 innings.
Mueth was promoted to the Low-A Bradenton Marauders later that season and owned a 3.97 ERA in seven starts.
