Who Will Be The Pirates DH?

Colin Moran

Colin Moran was a solid hitter last season with a slash line of 277/322/429 with an OPS of 751 but the hitting isnt the biggest thing that will help the Pirates. The biggest thing is getting him off the field as he was one of the worst fielding 3B in the league. The Pirates could put top prospect Ke’Bryan Hayes at 3B who has won 3 Gold Gloves in the minor leagues and is a solid hitter.

Josh Bell

Josh Bell took the league by storm last season and is now a top 10 1B in the league. He could be another option at DH because he is a below average fielder and the Pirates could put Jose Osuna at 1B who is solid in the field and at the plate.

When the trade happened Pirates fans were in shock that they traded former MVP Andrew McCutchen for 2 prospects who were not highly ranked. After the trade McCutchen was never the same as his MVP type seasons in Pittsburgh but is still a solid player, As of now he’s on the Phillies recovering from an injury.

Kyle Crick as soon as he came to Pittsburgh made a huge impact as he had a career year posting a 2.39 ERA as well with 65 strikeouts in 60.1 innings pitched. In 2019 though he was not the same as he posted a 4.96 ERA with a 1.55 WHIP. Overall though Kyle Crick is a above average reliver and was a good pick up for the Pirates.

Bryan Reynolds did not make his Major League debut until 2019,APR 20. He got called up due to a injury, He wasn’t a top 100 prospect and no one expected much from him. Well he proved everyone wrong as he posted a 314 BA,503 SLG,880 OPS and a 3.9 WAR. He was also 4th in voting for NL ROY behind guys like Pete Alonso and Fernando Tatis JR.

Its safe to say Bryan Reynolds is one of the most underrated players in the MLB and people should start giving him the respect he deserves. In all the Pirates won this trade and got a superstar type player.
