We know many are not too fond of Erik Gonzalez and question the team’s infatuation with him. Regardless, he has had a nice bounce-back month in September despite hitting .188 in August, the second-worst of any Pittsburgh Pirates position player. He’s slashing .353/.382/.451 in September and is 13th in batting average this month with NL players who have appeared in 15 games or more. Sure he’s scattering a lot of singles, but it’s the best we have seen him this season by far. His wRC+ in September is an impressive 120 along with a 38.5% hard-hit percentage this month.
