PNC Park is a left-handed pitcher’s haven. Due to this, left-handed pitcher Brett Anderson is a free agent that the Pirates should pursue this offseason. Additionally, Anderson also fits the Pirates’ pitching mold.
In 2016 Brett Anderson pitched in just 11 1/3 innings due to having back surgery. All of these innings came in the month of September when he made three starts and one relief appearance. And, unfortunately for Anderson, injuries have always plagued him.
In his rookie season of 2009 he pitched 175 1/3 innings. However, since then he has only topped 100 innings pitched twice.
