2021 Pittsburgh Pirates season

Major League Baseball team season

The 2021 Pittsburgh Pirates season was the franchise's 140th season overall, 135th season as a member of the National League, and 21st season at PNC Park. The Pirates suffered another heavily losing season, finishing last in the National League Central with a 0.377 winning percentage, the second-worst in the National League. They were 34 games behind the division-winning Brewers. One rare highlight from the season was winning a series of games against the playoff-bound Giants, including a 10-2 steamrolling of them at Oracle Park.

Quick Facts Pittsburgh Pirates, League ...

The Pirates had the first overall pick in the 2021 Major League Baseball draft after their weak 2020 season, drafting catcher Henry Davis. Sports journalists suspect that the team was tanking again in the 2021 season for a high draft spot in the 2022 Major League Baseball draft.^[1]
