Pitching four scoreless innings and recording a save, he became the first pitcher to achieve this in his debut since saves were officially counted in 1969.\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s something I always dreamed of,\u201d Chandler declared after his performance, where he allowed only two hits and struck out three batters.\n\n<p>Despite the excitement and adrenaline, Chandler admitted to feeling a bit overwhelmed at first. &#8220;I went blank in the first inning,&#8221; he commented.<\/p>\n\nThe young pitcher showed his talent, with a fastball that reached 100 miles per hour, and had the support of a solid defense. Chandler struck out Ryan Ritter with a fastball that grazed the corner, and managed to get Tyler Freeman and Mickey Moniak out.\n\nThe Pirates&#8217; manager, Don Kelly, trusted Chandler for the ninth inning, and despite a single, he managed to close the game with three consecutive outs.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a4.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0823%2Fr1535459_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Bubba Chandler lanzando\" title=\"\"><figcaption>El novato de los Piratas, Bubba Chandler, demostr\u00f3 su habilidad con una recta de 100 mph en su salvamento de cuatro entradas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nThe Pirates&#8217; victory was a moment of celebration for Chandler, who could finally feel the weight of the wait and the hard work. The team plans to use Chandler in a relief role, as an &#8220;access ramp&#8221; to the majors.\n\nThe future of the Pirates could be exciting, with Chandler, Ashcraft, Skenes, and Keller in the rotation. For Chandler, the important thing is that the future has finally arrived.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;For 22 years, I&#8217;ve only wanted to be on a Major League field and show what God gave me.
