The Pittsburgh Pirates recently fired their hitting coach. Should their pitching coach go next?
In what was somewhat of an “out-of-no-where” move, the Pittsburgh Pirates let go of hitting coach Rick Eckstein. Eckstein had served as the Pittsburgh Pirates hitting coach since the offseason of 2018-2019. This of course means that he was also hired by Neal Huntington’s regime and was one of the few staff members that were kept under the new leadership.
Regardless of who Eckstein was hired under, his job was on the line because the team simply did not see much progress offensively this year.
