CHAD KUHL: The 24-year-old righthander is making his second start of the spring today...Pitched 2.0 hitless innings and picked up the win on 2/27 at Blue Jays...Split
the 2016 season between Triple-A Indianapolis and Pittsburgh...Went 6-3 with a 2.37 ERA in 16 starts with Indianapolis...Made his Major League debut against Clayton
Kershaw and the Dodgers on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball on 6/26 and won a 4-3 decision...Went 3-0 in his first six big league starts and the Pirates were victorious in

(RHP)...Nick Kingham, Clay Holmes, Antonio Bastardo, A.J. Schugel and Dan Runzler are also expected to pitch for Pittsburgh.
THE ROSTER: There are 62 players in Major League camp (31 pitchers, 7 catchers, 16 infielders and 8 outfielders), including 23 non-roster players...Infielder Jung Ho
Kang is currently in Korea for personal reasons.
WANNA BE STARTING SOMETHING: In the first eight spring training games, Pittsburgh starting pitchers have been charged with three earned runs in 14.0 innings of work
(1.93 ERA); the staff has surrendered just one run in the last five contests (10.0ip).
THE KING OF SPRING: Bucco prospect Jose Osuna hit his team-leading second home run of the spring Thursday afternoon and has now gone 6-for-11 (.545) with a double,
four RBI and four runs scored while hitting safely in all five of his Grapefruit League games this year...In 12 career spring training games, Osuna has gone 11-for-20 (.550)
with three home runs, 10 RBI, seven runs scored and a 1.621 OPS.
LECOM Park: On February 10, McKechnie Field’s name was changed to LECOM Park...LECOM is an acronym for Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, which has a
branch campus in nearby Lakewood Ranch...The original stadium at the same location was known as City Park and opened in 1923, making it the oldest used for spring
training as well as the second-oldest in the Florida State League (behind Jackie Robinson Ballpark, built in 1914)...In addition to being called LECOM Park and McKechnie Field
(1962-2016), the field at the corner of 17th Avenue and 9th Street West was known as City Park (1923-1926), Ninth Street Park (1927-1947) and Braves Field (1948-1961).
COACHING STAFF: There are three new additions to Manager Clint Hurdle’s coaching staff in 2017...Kimera Bartee, who was the organization’s Minor League Outfield/
Baserunning Coordinator the last nine seasons, is the First Base Coach...Joey Cora, who managed the Double-A Altoona Curve to a 76-64 record and a postseason berth
last year, is the Third Base Coach...Tom Prince is the Bench Coach after spending the last 13 years as a manager or coach in the Pirates farm system.
