I Tier Ranked the 2025 Pittsburgh Pirates!

I Tier Ranked the 2025 Pittsburgh Pirates!

So, starting things off with Joey Bart, it was not the greatest year compared to what he did in 2024. He kind of had a slow season and he kind of just kicked into gear in the final couple months. He had a 249 batting average, a 355 OBP, a 340 slugging, and a 696 OPS along with his WRC plus of 101. This is only the second that only the two Pirates that were on the offense basically every day had an OPS or WRC plus that is over 100. So I think his defense might have been bad but the fact that he is only one of two Pirates to have an OPS plus over 100. I know he only hit four home runs. I am going to put Joey Bart in the C tier. It was not a great year for Joey Bart, but I have to respect him being one of two Pirates on the entire offense having an OPS plus well of above 100. Next up, Henry Davis. This is going to be a sad one to talk about because Henry Davis, I’m I regret to do this to I’m move this down a little bit really quick. I regret to do this Henry Davis, but it was not a great year for Henry. It’s F. Henry Davis had a lot more expectations than what he did this year. I know the power was a lot better than what we saw out of Joey Bart. Had seven home runs compared, but only 22 ribbies. And here was his slash line, and it was not a good hitting year for Davis. Hit 167, a 234 OBP, a 278 slugging, and an OPS of 512. His WRC plus was 41. Joey Bart was at a 101. Um, do the quick math, you can tell the difference was literally just he just couldn’t hit compared to Joey Bart. Um, I know he had the power and he also did have the glove over Joey Bart, one of the Pirates best defenders, but I can’t warrant defense putting him above Ftier. Henry Davis has to be better. He’s a one-1 overall pick. I think this next year has to probably be the last chance for Henry Davis with the Pirates. And it’s kind of sad to say. Um, moving on. Andy Rodriguez, he’s another one just like Henry Davis where it’s like it’s going to be time to figure out what they are actually doing with Andy Rodriguez. Another year basically ended with injury. He hit 173 with a 246 OBP, a 250 slugging, and a 496 OPS WRC plus in his 57 plate appearances of 38. I’m sorry to NDers. He’s also going in F. A team that thought catching depth was going to be great. two catchers already in F- tier. That is not the greatest start. Raphael Flores, who was brought in in the David Bednar trade. Now, my thing with Raphael Flores is this. I was very intrigued with actually what he did in his short sample size. Only played in only had 17 played appearances. He hit 200, 273, 363, and a 6335 OPS. He did only have a 76 WRC plus, but like I said, very small sample size. For now, I’m gonna put him in the D tier just because we don’t know too much about Raphael Flores on this website I’m using. I can’t really add another tier because I use this one because there was no ads on this one. So, we’re good for now. But, I’m going to put Flores right now in D. I think he has potential to go to C. And with his bat looked as okay it as it did in that short sample size, maybe he goes to B. And then we go then we go to former pirate for a grand total of nine plate appearances, Brett Sullivan. Um, Brett Sullivan, I’m not even going to read his stats. He’s F. He was just here for a couple literally a day or two. Um, sorry, Brett Sullivan. F tier. Moving on to the infield. Let’s go with Sun Chang. Um, I’m a big I want to say I’m a believer in Chang. It was not a great year. Even the minor leagues are putting him in F tier. Nothing really to add there. Cam Deainy, the big piece of well, the only piece of the Adam Frasier trade. Deainy did not have a great start to his major league career. He’s older. He 139, 184, 167, 351, a negative five WRC plus for a guy that had a lot of pop in the minor leagues. He’s going in F tier. As you can see, we have a theme so far, a lot of F. Adam Frasier. So, Adam Frasier, of course, goes to the Royals in that Cam Dey trade. He had 262 plate appearances. Like I said, we are still going to tier rank the guys who were traded away from the Pittsburgh Pirates. So, Adam Frasier, we are going to do right now. Um, he had 255, 318, a 336, and a 654 OPS. Had an 82 WRC plus. Um, I think Adam Frasier was clutch at moments. Now, I don’t know if I want to put him in C or D. I’m kind of like conflicted. He had three home runs, 21 ribbies. Um, he did a lot in a situation that he was not supposed to be playing a lot. Um, if you remember, Nick Gonzalez got hurt. So that meant Adam Frasier had to step up to basically fill a role as a starting second baseman when Adam Frasier was supposed to be the backup utility man, second baseman, shortstop, wherever you want to put him, even in the outfield. I’m going to put Adam Frasier’s in D. Now I very close in putting him to C, but I’m going to put him at D for now, but probably high D. I’m going to flip him and Flores because I think Frasier did good with what he was warranted, but I mean it wasn’t a great year for Adam Frasier even with the Pirates. Moving on to Nick Gonzalez. Nick Gonzalez is a very debatable player for a lot of Pirates fans. I understand why a lot of grounders he started out very hot. He had 48 plate appearances. He ended up hitting 260, 299, 362, and an OPS of 661 and 82 WRC plus the same as Adam Frasier. had some poor defense. Also had some more clutch moments as well when it came to the home runs in the long ball. Of course, Nick Gonzalez did only have he had five and 39 30 that is for RBI’s, but he hit five home runs compared to what Adam Frasier did with three. I’m going to put Nick Gonzalez in C. He’s going to be in the middle of C tier. I’m only putting him ahead of Frasier is just because he’s still on the team and he did play more than Frasier as well when he came back. Cabrian Hayes. Man, this is this sucks. Um, he’s gone now. Brian Hayes only hit two home runs, 36 ribbies on the Pirates, and his overall advanced metrics look a bit like this. Let’s find him really quick. He is literally down the list when I hit W like going by WRC Plus. He had a 57 on the Pirates, hit 236, 279, 29, 569. That’s why he’s gone. He just could not hit. Well, I’m not putting him in F. I’m going to put him in high D. Now, how about this guy, Spencer Horwitz, the best member of the offense this season, you surprisingly brought in by Ben Cherington. So, good on Ben for finally finding someone good on offense. Um, had a 119 WRC plus. You can’t just ignore that. 11 home runs, 51 ribbies. Of course, his advanced slash line was a 272 average, a two 353 OBP, 434 slugging, and a 787 OPS. I’m putting Spencer Horwitz. I like I’m sorry to the haters. He’s going in a tier. Spencer Horwitz. I I can’t ignore his the only guy on the team who is pushing a 120 WRC plus. I don’t think that’s fair of me. I mean, some people might put him in B. Some people might even put him in C because he doesn’t have a lot of pop, but I’m going to be aggressive and put him in A. I think Horwitz had a year. I mean, if he wasn’t hurt, maybe he hits almost 15 to 20 home runs. Um, but I I’m fine with what he did. I think he can add some pop. That’s if anything. But yeah, Spencer Horwitz I’m putting in a tier. So, that’s our first kind of positive one. Um Isaiah Ker Falefa had another weird year in my opinion. Started out a little hot. He was a hitting machine. They were batting him ninth, but then yeah, he kind of rounded out a 264 average, a 300 OBP, a 332 slugging. And let me go to his advance really quick. OPS of 632, a 7675 that is WRC plus. I was reading Flores for for a second. Of course, Isa Isaiah Connor Falefa does not have the pop. one home run, 35 ribbies. Did have 15 stolen bases, so he was doing that very well running on the bases. His glove was eh. You could see his arm come into play. That’s where he’s it has issues. IKF started out hot, kind of tailed off at the end of his Pirates tenure. I am going to put him in C just because he was a competent bat for a good time. Um, Leover Pguero. Um, this is another one where it’s like, where am I supposed to put layover Puero? Um, 88 plate appearances, of course, only batted 200, 273, 363, and a 635 OPS. 76 WRC plus, same as Flores, so I have to put him in D right next to Flores. Put him next to Frraasier right there. I don’t think Paggu was an Ftier player. Um, he hit better than Henry Davis based off slash line this year. Um, an interesting one we have here, Jared Triolo. Now, Jared Triolo ended the year very hot. Um, and it’s interestingly enough, Jared Tillo finished with the sixth best WRC plus on this team, an 86 tied with O’Neal Cruisel, who who we will be ranking in just a little bit. Um, a 227 average, 311 OBP, 356 slugging, and a 667 OPS. He’s probably going to be the Pirates Gold Glove winner. It’s either him or Henry in my opinion for the team gold glove. But he is a gold glover. He did play very well post Kabrian Hayes trade. Now I can’t forget what he did before that. He had to go to the minor leagues. He was basically borderline unplayable. It was bad. But I’ll give Jared Trielo all the credit here. He figured out what he was doing and he was able to get it figured out into the final two months of the season. Even in September mainly, he was on fire. Now, where do I rank him? I’m going to put him in C. Um, actually I’m gonna try to put him in the top seat. This website’s very weird, but it’s just he he deser he played good down the stretch. I have to reward that. I’m not the biggest believer in Jared Trielo, but I have to admit he did good when it mattered. I mean, the least, but he’s looking like he wants he’s playing for a spot next year and he did good with that. Um, remember this guy, Emmanuel Valdez? And it’s funny here, Valdez was hurt in basically the first month of the year. Um he was the infamous lifted his hand requesting timeout and then he got called out at third base. Of course he was hitting fairly well. Um he only had 102 plate appearances but he was batting 209 294 33 363 that is a 657 OPS but he’s only he’s ninth on in the OPS department. He’s tied with Nikki G and Adam Frasier. Um Valdez hot take here. I think he’s a guy I kind of want to see him bring back on the bench. I actually enjoyed watching Manuel Valdez, but my standards are very low when it comes to this team. I’m going to put him in Dtier. Nick York, the final infielder I have. Um, Nick York gets caught up a little late. Had a very eh minor league season this year. I’m trying to find him really quick. Yeah, 72 plate appear in batted at 232, 264, 319, 583 OPS, a 59 WRC plus. I’m putting him in Dtier just because it’s I’m not expecting much out of Nick York. He started hitting towards the end of the year, last like week or so. Good for him. I’m hoping nothing but the best for Nick York, but I just don’t really see it. Giwan Bay, this is easy. That’s F tier. He was not that good. I I only literally remember the play in Miami where he faked himself out trying to steal base. He batted 50. He had an a batting average of 50, 240, a 50 slugging, and a OPS of 290. WRC plus somehow of three. So Ji Bay is Ftier. That’s pretty simple. Alexander Canario. He lasted all year on the Pirates. I really don’t know how only the Pirates would do this. Um he was he got on a hot streak once Shelton was fired, but then he came back down to earth. 234 played appearances. Bad at 218, 274, 338, 611. Um Canario is Dtier. I I can respect the little bit of pop he had. I don’t think he’s F. He did strike out a lot, so maybe I might put him in F. Um you know what? Put him in F. Sorry, Canario. Um, moving on, we have Billy Cook. Um, Billy Cook. He batted three, he only had six played appearances, then he got sent back down. I again, he batted 333 in basically everything. 667 OPS. Cool. That 85 WRC plus. He was sent back down. He didn’t do much this year. I can respect what he did in those six play D. I don’t know. O’Neal Cruz. This is a tough one. O’Neal Cruz had a great first month and a half, two months, and then he just fell off a cliff. um batted 200 298 378 676 OPS 86 WRC plus that is not accept acceptable. He had the same WRC plus as Jared Tro. I am a huge Nick Nick and I’m a huge O’Neal Cruz fan as you can see the jersey behind me but I have to be realistic here and reward what based off what we expected and what he gave us. Now he did give us some cool cool moments. Um also had some fluke moments with the fielding as well. But O’Neal Cruz, um, he did hit 20 home runs, 38 still on bases, was close to a 2040 season. He did go 2030. That’s cool. Um, the strikeout rate has to go down 32%. I’m putting O’Neal Cruz in Dtier. I can’t put him in F. I can’t put the d only dude on the team that’s capable of hitting a home run in F tier. I’m going to put him in the middle of D tier. It was just bad. I’ll just put him I’m not even going to reorder, but it was bad for O’Neal Cruz. Matt Gorski. Um remember when he got caught up now he of course got DFA I think was picked up by the Angels. Um it was not good. He hit a home run. I think it was in his first at bat. It basically hit two of them. Um batted 195 blah blah blah. Matt Gorski sadly f. He didn’t really do much. Um we’re going to put him behind bay. Um Andrew McCutchen. Andrew McCutchen right over here. He of course was Cutch. He was solid. I don’t really have much else to add about Cutch. Um, batted 551 plate appearances, even made some appearances in the outfield. Bad 239, 333, 367, 700 OPS, had a 95 WRC plus. I’m going to put Andrew McCutchen just because he just stuck it out. I want to put him in B just so we can kind of get that category going, but if I put him in B, I’m gonna have to put some others in B. Let’s put Kutch in C. Um, very top of C. Actually, I want to change this up a little bit. I know I didn’t really mean to do that, but we’re gonna put Cutch for You know what? B here. Cut might be ending up in low B, but let’s put Kutch in B for now. Um, Tommy Fam, this is another envious one. Tommy Fam started out awful. I think we can all agree with that one. It was like everyone was chanting DFA, boo. Get rid of it. Literally the rowdy Toles arc. Once he got his contacts fixed, he became a better hitter. He managed to save his season. batted 245, 330, 370,7700 ops. Had an OPS plus of 94. Um, he did kind of tail off at the end as well. Now, I did just put McCutchen in B. I’m going to put Fam in literally the high C tier. I’m going to try to re I know I said I wasn’t going to reorder this, but I I guess I am. I’m just show I’m putting Fam in high C. He did save his season. I think we can agree on this one. Brian Reynolds, he had a horrible year for Brian Reynolds standards. Um he batted 245, 318, 402, 720, 99 W wrc plus. He was a below like around league average, but basically below league average hitter. Um of course the home runs um kind of where he usually like you don’t want to see. He only had 16. He’s usually in the 20s. Um 73 ribbies. I’m putting Brian Reynolds. He did basically save his season at the end. I’m going to put Reynolds in C. Uh he needed to be better. him and Cruz basically are the two guys this offense relied a lot on. Um Ronnie Simon, remember him? Um he’s now in the minor I think he just got I don’t think he got DFA. He was just sent back to the minor leagues. Only had eight games. That’s it. 32 played appearances. Batted 233. Nothing really much to add about Ronnie Simon. Um I mean he he committed like four errors in one inning. I think it was four errors in one game with the Marlins. Then they got rid of him. Um, Ronnie Simon. He didn’t really do much. I guess F. I I’m not really moved by Ronnie Simon and what he’s done for the Pirates. Nick Solak was. How could I forget Nick Solak? Sorry, I’m putting him in F. He didn’t add anything to this team. Um, Jack Sowinsky F. He did not have a great year. I don’t really have to deep dive. He literally he hit 147. So, that’s the offense. As we look at it really quick, I know I have it kind of zoomed in on my screen right now. So, we have Horwitz. I put in A. That might be aggressive for a lot of people, but A Cut B group at C. D does consist of some guys it’s like H could have been better. And then F the no names. Moving on, we have the starting pitcher. So, we’re going to do the starters and then the relievers. Starting it things out with Braxton Ashcraft. Great rookie season. He put up on Fangraphs a 1.6 WAR. Had, of course, KS for 9.17. um put up a solid erra of a 271 his rookie season. I’m gonna reward Braxen Ashcraft. Sol I mean, he only did start eight games, but he looked really good his rookie season. I have to reward him with an aggressive A tier. I really liked what I saw out of Braxton Ashcraft this season. I’m a big fan of what he did and I can respect it. Uh moving on, Hunter Barco didn’t really do much in the majors. Um he had a solid minor league stint, well minor league career before this. I’m gonna put Barcode just in the D tier because we don’t know what he is in the major leagues yet. Um I could put him in C just because he what he did in the minors, but we don’t know really anything. He only pitched like one or two games. Um but yeah, Hunter Barco, we are Let me see if I actually find what he’s listed as here very quick. Uh let’s see if we can find Barco. Yeah, he only pitched in. He has a win pitched total of three innings. That’s why we’re putting him down there. Um that’s what I think I’m going to do with a lot of these relievers who made like one stint. Um Mike Burroughs, another guy like Ashcraft that I think had a great year. Um he of course finished with an erra of 394. Not the greatest for Burroughs. Um 96 innings, 19 starts. He had a little bit more. He kind of started out rocky. It’s kind of mid what Burrows you get. I’m going to put him in C. I don’t think Bur was that bad. Bubba Chandler had a great stint in his rookie rookie. He had the one bad start against the Brewers. Ended up four- one. Of course, had that crazy save against the Rockies. 31 and a3. He had a 402 RA. Of course, that is inflated about what happened in the with the Brewers, I am pretty sure. Had an 8.9 KS per nine. Didn’t walk too much. 1.15. Um, so he he also put up a 0.9 war in that very short sample size. I’m going to put Bubba honestly very aggressively. He was also fun to watch. I’m going to put Bubba Chandler in B. That’s very aggressive. Um, if he pitched as much as Ashkov, maybe he goes up to A. I know Bubba had a great little great mini season with the Indianapolis Indians. I know he had a struggling like little bit of summer months. I’m going to put Bubba in B. I I have to. Um he he looked really good down the stretch. Bailey Falter. Um so he hasn’t been the greatest on the Royals. Of course. Bailey Falter had that crazy month with the Pirates. 373 erra of course went 75. I could care less about records. Um 5.56ks per nine. 3.10 walks per nine. Um, Bailey Falter, I can respect what he did for the Pirates. I’m kind of upset they traded him. He was an innings eater and he was always usually competent out of on the mound. Um, I’m going to put Bailey Falter in Ctier. Um, moving on, we’re going to Thomas Harrington. I was really disappointed by what they got out of Thomas Harrington. Um, he put up an erra of 15.58 across one start in three games. I had to put Harrington in the I didn’t see too much category because he did not also have the greatest year in the minor league. So, we’re putting Harrington in D. Andrew Heeney. So, Andrew Heeney really was good when they brought him in and then he just kind of just fell apart completely for him. Um it was not good going into the trade deadline. That’s why they couldn’t get rid of him. A 539 RA 5 and 10 record, 120 and a third innings pitch with the Pirates. I’m putting him in D. It was good at the start, not good at the end. I’m not putting him an F. I don’t think he was complete garbage. I have to respect what he did at the start of the year, but that’s probably part of the reason they couldn’t trade him. Mitch Keller, of course, a 4.19 RA kind of had that second half kind of fall off, but I don’t think it was as bad as what we’ve usually seen. He’s been rel resilient. He’s been relying on for literally every single member of this pitching staff. He will eat the innings. 76 and a third. The second most out of any starter this season besides Paul Skins, Andrew Heane and Bailey Falter. Um Mitch Keller I don’t want to put in C, but people will probably be mad I put him in C. But you know what? People are going to be mad I’m putting him in B. I’m putting him in B. I don’t care. I I I I have to respect what he did and especially in the first half. Uh moving on. Carmen Majinsky. Man, this guy frustrated me especially when he wanted to be a starter. That’s why I’m putting him in this. Ended up with a 355. I I’m gonna put Majinsky and see. He won me over. I hope he does better. I He needs to be a bullpen guy. Um Johan Ovo comes back from injury. Um he’s looked solid. I I wasn’t really too concerned with what we saw. He looked like that one game, I think it was against the Cubs, started out horribly, then he just managed to eat a bunch of innings. Pitched only 40 and a third. 357. All right. I really liked what Ovier did. I’m going to put him in C as well. I think he could end up going to be very soon. Um, skins est tier. What else is there to add about Paul Skins? He’s gonna win the SI Young. I don’t have to explain what he did. A 197 RA. He is the best member of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Okay, we are almost done. Moving on to the relievers now. So, the the bullpen. This is going to be interesting because we have a couple guys that were traded that I am actually going to put up really high. David Bedar, 237 erra, is up first. of course he is sadly and I mean sadly on the New York Yankees and it very upsetting. Um now he started out very bad. Had 17 saves um three holds this year only pitched in 38 innings. Bednar was sent down to TripleA and then once he came back after the first like couple weeks when he sent down he was dominant. I’m putting Bednar an A. He was a great reliever to have out of that bullpen and I’m gonna miss what David Bednar did. Um Ryan Bari on the other hand, man, he started out solid, but then it kind of just fell apart for him. He put up a 528 erra. I’m putting Barucky in lowest of D tier. I’m not putting him in like garbage because he was res he was you could call upon him, but other than that, it was Henness Cabrera. I didn’t think you were going to have to watch me rank Hennessy Cabrera, but here we are. Uh, I’m trying to find him really quick. He put up a 491 across nine total games pitched for the Pirates and then he was of course gotten rid of. I’m putting him in Dtier. We didn’t see much out of Henness Cabrera. Um, I’m about to rank Michael Daryl Hicks. We are going to put him. He only pitched in one game, then he was forgot about two innings. Uh Dtier, I guess I Dtier was also the category I did not see that much. Caleb Ferguson with the Pirates. Let’s see here very briefly. He of course put up a 374. Was solid out of the pen in my opinion. I actually liked Caleb Ferguson a lot. He of course went to the Seattle Mariners. I’m putting him in C. I think he was a solid bullpen pickup. Colin Holderman. Um this was a horrible year for Holderman. He never figured it out. We’re going to F tier. Um Gibe is still last. So, Holderman, looking at his overall stats, a 7018, I have to put him in F tier. I He I don’t I think he’s done. Now, this is going to be the hot take of this video. I am a huge believer in what Justin Lawrence did. Justin Lawrence was my f like by far the best pickup that the Pirates I think made this off seasonason. That was under the radar. The Rockies just gave him up. He was not good in Colorado, but look at where he’s pitching. Colorado, Cororus Field. It’s a place pitchers do not want to be. Um he was dominant out of the bullpen. He looked like a guy that if Dennis Santana starts a struggle. You could eventually maybe give him the ball at the end of games. Um I don’t think that’s the case, but maybe. Um Dennis Dennis Justin Lawrence is um he of course got hurt which sucked. He went 1 and0 had a 0.51 RA across 35 games um 17 games that is pitched. um 17 and two/3s innings. You know what? I’m putting him an A. I love Justin Lawrence. I loved what he did. I think he was very underrated. I think he was very undervalued as well for the Pirates. I think he was really good. Now, you could say just put him in B because he wasn’t here all year, but I’m putting him in A for what we saw out of Justin Lawrence, especially the rebound after what he did last year. I hope he can continue it. Uh moving on, Isaac Matson. Another fun one in my opinion, the Pit Panther himself, Isaac Madson just pounded the fast ball. Finished with a 245 RA across 47 and two/3 innings pitch. He’s a guy it’s like this should not work, but it somehow worked. He pitched in 44 games and this is a guy it’s like, oh yeah, he could be sent back down the minor league, see what happens. No, he pitched really good. I’m putting him in a tier as well. I really liked what Isaac Matson did. Um, who knew this bullpen might this bullpen is basically filling out the A tier. Um, moving on, Tim Mesa. Yeah, he he was hurt all the time. Um, unlike what we saw from Lawrence Mesa when he pitched, he did have a 289, only pitched in seven games, but unlike Lawrence, I’m going to put him in D just because we didn’t see him much and now he’s not even on the team. Um, Dari Moretta, another guy that was hurt a lot. Um, he did come back a 324 across 18 games. Um, he did have some rocky moments down the stretch. I’m going to put Moretta in C. Uh, moving on to Kyle Nicholas. Kyle Nicholas, another guy just like Moretta, had a lot of rocky moments. A 474 RA. Kind of got hot towards the end of it. 38 innings pitch. I’m gonna put Kyle Nicholas in like C. I’m not going to rerank the C. I’m forget about that. Um Tanner Rainey, uh I guess F. He did not have a great outing. I’m gonna fix this really quick. Change Bay, of course. Um Tanner Rainey 1057 RA in 11 games. Yeah, he’s F tier. Um, Johan Ramirez, we saw a lot of him going down the stretch towards the end of the season. And you know what, I don’t think he was horrible. He had a 54 RA. I’ll put him in D, but he was able to eat some innings down the stretch, so I at least can respect that. Um, moving on to Cam Sanders. He was called up straight from double A Altuna. Um, pitched in six games, put up an 810 RA, six and two/3 innings. We’re putting that in D. Um he didn’t perform well in the major leagues. Um Dennis Santana, he took over basically after Bedar left a 2.18 erra, 70 and a third innings pitched, 16 saves. Um of course he blew that game at Colorado, but I could forget about that. He was an A tier. He was really good. The Pirates had two good closers. They got of course rid of one of them. Chase Sugar, another guy just like in Manuel Valdez who was kind of like one of those pickups are like, “Oh yeah, here we go again.” He was actually pretty good. 34 ERA. Um 45 innings of course as well had injury issues. I’m going to put him in C. I actually kind of enjoyed Chase Jugert pitching. Um I think he’s going to be a pretty okay piece out of that bullpen next year. So Evan Cisk is up next. A brief piece of the Bailey Falter trade. A 438 RA with the Pirates across 14 games. I know he went to Triple A then came up then went back down and came back up. I’ll put him in D. I didn’t see much out of him I really liked. Um who knows though. Hunter Stratton. Um they brought him back and then he left again. They basically got rid of him three games, put up a 23.63 erra. Um he just played him in Atlanta. It was not a great year for him, but I’ll put him in D just because he didn’t pitch enough. And then finally, Joey Wentz pitched in 19 games. About you forget he was even on the team because I honestly did whenever I saw this name every pirate quiz. Then we played the Braves and then he’s there. Um, Joey Wentz put up a 415 ERA across 26 innings, 19 games. I’ll put him in D as well. There you have it. There is the entire tier list. So, going up here, there is the main stays. Um, Paul Ske, my A tier, uh, Spencer Horowitz, Braxton Ashcraft, David Bednar, Justin Lawrence, that might be a surprise to a lot of people. Isaac Matson I thought was great and Dennis Santana B tier Andrew McCutchen, Bubba Chandler, Mitch Keller. That Mitch Keller might be like, “Oh, you might put him in C.” I’m putting him in B personally. And then the main stays of the C tier, the key ones. Tommy Fam, Jared Trio, IKF, Nikki G, Joey Bart, Brian Reynolds, Mike Burroughs, Bailey Falter, Karma Majinsky, Johan Oedo, Caleb Ferguson, Madari Moretta, Kyle Nicholas, and of course um Chase Sugar. Um, but yeah, that’s basically O’Neal Cruz Dtier. I know Reynolds also had a slow start, but he was able to recoup it. O’Neal Cruz, I wish I could put in C. I understand he hit the home runs and the stolen bases. It was not a good year for O’Neal Cruz. I think we can all admit that. We need better out of O’Neal Cruz. Well, there you have it. There’s the tier list in my honest opinion. Thank you all for watching this video. Make sure to comment down below what you would change. Thank you for watching this.
