How Does Kevin Newman Fit Into Pirates’ Plans For 2023? (+)
After two consecutive down years at the plate for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Kevin Newman bounced back and became a fairly reliable option for the Bucs in 2022.
In 192 games between 2020-21, Newman slumped to a .226/.268/.302 slash line with just six home runs.
Those two seasons of course came after the 2015 first-round draft pick’s impressive rookie season in 2019. That year, Newman hit .308 with an OPS of .800 and a dozen homers.
