2021 Fantasy Outlook
Mears made his big-league debut amidst a shortened 2020 season, making four relief appearances for the Pirates. He surrendered three runs on four hits while striking out seven and walking seven across five innings of work. Prior to his debut, he hadn't pitched above Double-A, where he also saw limited action in 2019. Mears' elevated BB% was alarming in what turned out to be an extremely small sample size, but his strikeout stuff is up there with the best of them, featuring a solid fastball sitting around 96 mph and a curveball at 78 mph. It wouldn't be surprising to see Mears fall near the front end of Pittsburgh's bullpen in 2021 if he's able to crack the Opening Day roster.
