The Pittsburgh Pirates finished the 2024 season with a 76-86 record, landing them in fifth place in the NL Central. After a balanced first half, the team faltered, with a notable drop in offensive performance.
Young pitchers like Paul Skenes and Luis Ortiz showed promise, while the bullpen found strength in Dennis Santana. However, the offense struggled significantly, with key players like Ke'Bryan Hayes and Henry Davis underperforming.
Heading into the offseason, the Pirates need to bolster their hitting and address the closer situation, particularly with potential free agency losses.
