North Shore Nine went live from Bradenton, bringing an inside look at the Pirates’ spring training. We discussed Paul Skenes‘ sophomore season, his focus on efficiency, and how he can build on an already historic rookie campaign. Henry Davis is showing progress behind the plate, while Ke’Bryan Hayes looks healthy and ready to contribute.
On the offensive side, the Pirates’ lineup has struggled, but Matt Gorski is making a strong case in the first base battle against DJ Stewart with his early power surge. Bailey Falter, Jared Jones, and Dennis Santana have impressed on the mound, and the bullpen depth is looking strong.
We also spoke with Dallas Braden about the Pirates’ pitching potential and Jared Carrabis, who shared insight on Nick Yorke and Pittsburgh’s quiet offseason.
