When the 2022 Major League Baseball season begins the Pittsburgh Pirates will have much less certainty than many other teams in baseball. That said, there is plenty that is known about the Pirate roster entering 2022.

Ke’Bryan Hayes will be at third base. Bryan Reynolds will man center field. Yoshi Tsutsugo will be a middle of the lineup bat. David Bednar and Christ Stratton will be handling the back of the bullpen, and José Quintana, Miguel Yajure, and Bryse Wilson will likely be relied upon for the team’s starting rotation.

That said, there are still plenty of question marks about the Pittsburgh Pirates as the calendar prepares to flip from 2021 to 2022. This leads to the Pirates have some overlooked, but talented players on their 40-man roster.

Today, we will take a look at three overlooked players for the Pittsburgh Pirates entering the 2022 season. While these players could flame out and struggle in 2022, they could also put together a season in which they see plenty of playing time with the Pirates.
