Brannigan’s Big League Debut | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Jack Brannigan’s major league dream became reality when he pinch-hit for Bryan Reynolds in the seventh inning against the Braves — a moment he’d been waiting for since his call-up was delayed by injury and a late-season promotion. Though he struck out on three pitches, his heart raced with excitement, not fear. Later, he snagged his first MLB assist at third base — even against a guy he’d faced in college summer ball. After a rocky start to the season — including a broken nose and rehab time — Brannigan’s rapid rise from Double-A to the Pirates’ roster has been nothing short of a whirlwind. Now, he’s soaking it all in, ready to contribute, chase a playoff push, and savor every second of his big league debut.
