When the season was put on hold in March, Baseball Reference started a simulated season on the simulation game Out Of The Park Baseball. This is what happened with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

When the Pittsburgh Pirates and the rest of baseball shut down, and it was announced that we wouldn’t start baseball in the last days of March and first days of April, Baseball Reference, one of the largest baseball databases on the internet, started a simulation of the 2020 season in the simulator-genre video game Out Of The Park Baseball 2021.
