Halfway through Spring Training, who are the Pirates?

Well, your Pittsburgh Pirates are halfway through Spring Training 2022, and it’s hard to know what to make of anything yet.

Among the position players, no one has gone all Matt Hague and no one is 0-for-March yet either. Although Anthony Alford gave it a good shot before running into a pitch Saturday for his first Grapefruit League hit.

A couple of players you would expect to hit are doing so; Bryan Reynolds is 5-for-18 with three extra base hits and Ke’Bryan Hayes has 4 hits in his first 12 at-bats.

Diego Castillo might be the biggest surprise offensively, as he’s gone 5-for-15 with a home run, and perennial prospect Cole Tucker is making the most of his opportunities, collecting six hits, including a pair of home runs, in 18 at-bats.
