If it wasn't for Ke'Bryan Hayes, the GCL Pirates would have a horrible offense this year. With his 1.024 OPS, which ranks fourth in the league, the Pirates as a team still only have a .656 OPS. What might surprise you to hear, is that compared to the rest of the league, they are actually average. There are three teams in the league that have an OPS under .600, including the lowly Astros team, which has a .514 OPS and .190 team average. What might be more surprising is that they are just points below the Rays' affiliate. So maybe the Pirates' hitters in the league that look like they're struggling, really aren't doing that bad, but some of them do deserve a closer look.
