Jung Ho Kang Compared To League In 2016

Yesterday I wrote how concerns over the Pirates power is overblown, but despite improving their numbers in 2016, they were lower when compared to the league. The team will feature a more line drive and fly ball approach this season, add to that a full season of healthy Gregory Polanco and how many games of health for Jung Ho Kang, and the Pirates power should improve.

Kang has only played in 229 games in his two years, with 2015 starting off the bench before going down with injury, and 2016 saw him recovering from the season ending surgery in 2015 before being placed on the disabled list in August.
