ATLANTA — Jack Suwinski has insisted that he either can’t or doesn’t care to hear the noise. The increasing amount of attention that’s being paid to his offense … yeah, he can’t afford to think about it. He’s too busy sticking to the process.
It’s a terrific way of answering the question, but it won’t prevent those on the outside from taking notice of what Suwinski has done. Although the Pirates suffered a 3-1 loss to the Braves on Thursday at Truist Park, one where they had the unfortunate task of trying to win a battle against Max Fried, the bigger-picture focus should be Suwinski.
He’s here to stay, right? Forget that. Is it crazy to start talking about National League Rookie of the Year consideration?
