As a whole, the team is hitting .177/.240/.301. They are striking out a quarter of the time while walking just six percent of the time. All hitters on the Pirates have a cumulative fWAR of -0.4. Only the Arizona Diamondbacks have a lower mark (-0.6).
If it weren’t for Colin Moran, these numbers would be much worse.
The red-bearded corner infielder has done nothing but crush baseballs so far in this young season. In 26 plate appearances, Moran is hitting .333/.385/.875 with an MLB-leading four home runs. He has not yet made soft contact.
