“Roansy Contreras just made CJ Cron look like an infant,” “Good luck MLB dealing with Roansy Contreras for years to come” - Pittsburgh Pirates rookie pitcher comes out firing against the Colorado Rockies, Twitter reacts to his dominance

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Roansy Contreras took to the mound against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night, and he's got MLB fans buzzing. The 22-year-old is one of the league's highest-touted prospects. He started just one game for the Pirates in 2021 and threw three innings, allowing as many hits.

But now he's looking better. At the time of writing, Contreras is three innings deep and has allowed just two hits and struck out two batters---one of whom was the slugger CJ Cron. Twitter thinks Contreras is looking like one of the next big arms to dominate mounds for years to come. Here's some of the best reactions to the Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher's start tonight.
