Scott Sauerbeck Passes Away

Former Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Scott Sauerbeck has passed away at the age of 53. Sauerbeck, who played for the Pirates from 1999 to 2003, was known for his effective left-handed relief pitching. He was a key part of the Pirates' bullpen during his tenure and still holds the team record for the most games pitched in a season by a left-hander.
​
Sauerbeck's career also included stints with the Boston Red Sox, Cleveland Indians, and Oakland Athletics. He was well-regarded for his "sweeper" curveball and his contributions to the teams he played for. The baseball community mourns his loss, and his family and friends are in the thoughts of many during this difficult time.
