The 2020 season for the Pittsburgh Pirates was not one to be remembered fondly by the organization or fans. Still, amidst all that anguish came one obvious and bright star: Rookie Ke’Bryan Hayes.
Fans of the Pirates waited patiently for Hayes to make his much anticipated entrance to Major League Baseball. In a season where players needed reps any way they could get them, it was just a matter of time before Hayes was called up.
That call finally came about halfway through the season and Hayes ultimately played in 24 games. That was fewer games than many would’ve liked to see him, but that’s what we were stuck with this year.
