John Jaso began the season as the Pirates’ starting first baseman against right-handed pitching. However, when Josh Bell reached the Major Leagues this changed. While Jaso has still made some starts since Bell debuted his playing time has not been as regular.
After John Jaso hit for the cycle last night I figured today would be a good day to take a look at his season as a whole. Because, Jaso’s season has been better than many fans think. And the Pirates have a strong bench player in Jaso for 2017.
Jaso has a career high 420 plate appearances this season.
