PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Just a few years ago, Kyle McPherson was a Neanderthal – at least on the mound.

McPherson didn't even pitch all that much in college, primarily playing the infield.

In a conversation with Pirates pre-game and post-game show host Dan Zangrilli, McPherson discussed his evolution from a throwing Neanderthal to refined pitching candidate for the Pirates major league rotation.
