Reinforcements are forthcoming for the Pittsburgh Pirates’ catching platoon. Fans are chomping at the bit for the call-ups of top overall prospect Endy Rodriguez and 2021 first overall pick Henry Davis, both of whom are exceeding expectations in the minors.
For the moment, however, fans are subjected to the duo of primary backstop Austin Hedges, who signed with the Pirates on a one-year deal in the offseason, and backup Jason Delay, both of whom are producing contrasting numbers.
Hedges has slashed a mere .143/.250/.168 with no home runs and five RBI in 16 games played.
