Spencer Horwitz, a 27-year-old first baseman, is set to make his Pirates debut this weekend against the Phillies after joining the team in a three-team offseason trade. Originally acquired by the Guardians in exchange for notable players from the Blue Jays, Horwitz's arrival was delayed due to wrist surgery. He has shown consistent hitting skills in both major league and minor league play, which the Pirates hope will address their current first base struggles, where they have underperformed significantly so far this season. Horwitz could have a substantial role for the Pirates in the coming years.
First baseman Spencer Horwitz will debut with the Pirates against the Phillies, after being acquired in an offseason trade, providing much-needed strength to the lineup.
Horwitz's introduction aims to enhance a struggling Pirates offense, where current first basemen have posted a dismal .192 batting average this season.
