ESPN.com’s Jesse Rogers mentioned on Twitter/X that the Pittsburgh Pirates are moving on from hitting coach Andy Haines.

The Pirates hired Haines to be their hitting coach prior to the 2022 season.

In 2022, Pittsburgh’s offense had major struggles, as they finished last in the National League in team batting average at .222, while being next to last in runs batted in with 555.

Last season, there seemed to be some gradual improvement on the offensive side, more specifically in the on base department, with 556 walks drawn, which was tied for ninth most in MLB.

2024 was a significant step back for the Pirates’ offense - finishing last in the NL, with a team OPS of .672. Strikeouts were a problem again. The 1,506 Ks were not only fourth most in MLB, but the mark also set a new franchise record.
