BRADENTON, Fla. – Chad Noble is in disbelief.
Last week, Noble went home from his new role as the first ever Pirates catching coordinator and was in disbelief with his wife about how much talent he had to work with.
“I’ve just never seen a grouping of catching talent like this in my career,” said Noble, many times, while I talked with him after games on Monday at Pirate City.
It makes a lot of sense. The Pirates have upgraded that position heavily over the last year. They acquired Endy Rodriguez in January 2021 in the Joe Musgrove trade.
