Perrotto: Drew Maggi is Someone Worth Pulling For (+)

Drew Maggi has reached the pinnacle of his sport. Yet, in a way, he hasn’t.

And that is what keeps driving the 33-year-old infielder/outfielder, who is in the Pittsburgh Pirates’ spring training camp as a non-roster invitee.

Maggi has spent 12 seasons in the minor leagues, playing in 1,147 games and logging 4,461 plate appearances. Yet he has yet to play a game in the major leagues.

However, Maggi has spent time on a major-league roster. The Minnesota Twins purchased his contract from Triple-A St. Paul during the 2021 season and he had a brief stint with the team.
