Comparing Bryan Reynolds’ 2021 to other great individual lost Pirate seasons

Bryan Reynolds had a phenomenal 2021 season. Over 159 games played and 646 plate appearances, the 26-year-old center fielder hit .302/.390/.522 with 24 home runs, 35 doubles, and a league-leading eight triples. He played sound defense in centerfield. His baserunning was solid. All in all, Reynolds put together a great season that earned him a 6.0 bWAR and 5.5 fWAR.

Since 2010, there have only been five individual qualified seasons in which a Pirate hitter reached an OPS of .900 or higher. Andrew McCutchen did it three times from 2012-14. Josh Bell did it in 2019. In 2021, Reynolds achieved that mark as well.
