Watching Jack Suwinski’s 2022 season unfold was one of the better storylines of the year so far in the Pirates system. Suwinski rejoined the Altoona Curve at the start of the year after playing there after last year’s trade deadline. He skipped right over Triple-A to be a replacement in Pittsburgh while a couple players were moved to the COVID list, and never gave up his roster spot.
Just how impressive of a start did he get off to? Suwinski still leads all NL rookies in home runs, despite being back in the minors the past two weeks.
