Last week the Pittsburgh Pirates made their biggest move of the offseason when they acquired All-Star outfielder Corey Dickerson from the Tampa Bay Rays. In exchange for Dickerson the Pirates sent the Rays reliever Daniel Hudson, prospect Tristan Gray, and $1 million in cash considerations.
Throughout his five year Major League career Corey Dickerson has been known as a power hitter. In 563 games played Dickerson owns a .504 slugging percentage, an ISO of .224, and 237 extra base hits (once every 8.2 at bats). As Dickerson’s prepares to begin his first season as a Pirate the question is how will the left-handed hitting slugger’s power translate to PNC Park?
