The Pittsburgh Pirates opened the offseason by firing three of their coaches. The team dismissed hitting coach Andy Haines, bullpen coach Justin Meccage, and strength and conditioning coach Adam Vish.
The most significant impact is Haines. The Pirates were one of the worst offenses in the league during his time with the club. They finished the 2024 season with a team .234/.301/.371 line. The average was 23rd in the game. The OBP was 26th. The slugging was 27th. From a more advanced look, their .295 wOBA ranked 28th. Their 86 wRC+ also ranked 28th.
