The Pirates' struggles in scoring, ranking 26th in the league over the past three seasons, led to the dismissal of hitting coach Andy Haines and bullpen coach Justin Meccage.
Pittsburgh's offensive development has been lacking, with only four hitters boasting above-average offensive performances among those with significant plate appearances, highlighting coaching shortcomings.
Despite some individual successes like Bart and Cruz, key players like Ke'Bryan Hayes and Jack Suwinski failed to deliver, raising questions about coaching effectiveness.
The Pirates' poor performance, coupled with disappointing results from recent high-profile draft picks, indicates that their hitting coach's departure is only part of a larger issue.
