The Pittsburgh Pirates infield features promising players but lacks overall completeness. After acquiring Spencer Horwitz, who performed well at first base in 2025, Ryan O’Hearn is expected to play primarily in the outfield. Brandon Lowe, an All-Star second baseman, significantly upgrades the position, while shortstop remains uncertain with top prospect Konnor Griffin and Nick Gonzales competing for the role. Jared Triolo is set to handle third base, though the team is still searching for additional depth in that area.
