Williams: The Pirates Are Hitting For Power and Nothing Else
One year ago, Jack Suwinski was one of three prospects coming over to the Pirates in the Adam Frazier trade.
Suwinski was in Double-A at the time in the San Diego system, showing a boost in his power production. That resulted in a .282 isolated power (ISO), which didn’t carry over to Altoona, where Suwinski had a .139 ISO to finish the season.
The power returned this year.
Suwinski opened the season in Altoona, hitting three homers in 57 plate appearances, for a small sample sized .333 ISO. The small sample came at the right time, making Suwinski a short-term callup to the majors due to a COVID outbreak in April.
The power remained in the majors.
