The Pittsburgh Pirates had a roller coaster season. From beginning to end they have had to face a lot of adversity. Whether that was Jung Ho Kang being kept out of the country, Starling Marte being suspended, or just the constant disabled list trips from key players. However, one constant for the Pittsburgh Pirates have had this season is Jordy Mercer.
Mercer has been the Pittsburgh Pirates everyday shortstop since midway through the 2013 season. He has played at least 130 games ever since the start of the 2014 season, and he rarely misses games due to injury.
