First Pitch: The Argument to Bring Back Rowdy Tellez in 2025

The Pittsburgh Pirates need a first baseman for the 2025 season. Their best option might already be on the Major League roster.

Rowdy Tellez was signed to a one-year, $3.2 million deal this year, coming off the worst year of his career in 2023 with Milwaukee. Tellez started the 2024 season with the Pirates as one of the worst hitters in the game during the first two months of the year.

Things have changed since the start of June. Tellez sought advice from his father, as well as hitting tips from Dee Brown.
