# 2022 Pittsburgh Pirates season

The 2022 Pittsburgh Pirates season was the franchise's 141st season overall, 136th season as a member of the National League, and 22nd season at PNC Park.
On December 2, 2021, Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred announced a lockout of players, following expiration of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the league and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA). On March 10, 2022, MLB and the MLBPA agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement, thus ending the lockout. Opening Day was played on April 7. Although MLB previously announced that several series would be cancelled due to the lockout, the agreement provides for a 162-game season, with originally canceled games to be made up via doubleheaders. The Pirates set a major league record during the season: most games to start a season without a victory for the starting Pirates pitcher, who did not record a win until May 9, the 28th game of the season.
The team experienced another heavily losing season, finishing with a record of 62–100 (.383), improving upon the prior season's record by only one win. They were 31 games behind the NL Central-winning Cardinals. Despite the team's shortcomings, the team swept the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium for the first time in franchise history. Additionally, shortstop Oneil Cruz recorded the fastest-hit ball in Statcast history with a 122.4 mph single in a 14–2 loss against the Atlanta Braves. Because the eventual National League champions, the Phillies, reached the playoffs for the first time in 11 years, the Pirates now hold the National League's longest active playoff drought, not having made the playoffs since 2015. The Pirates finished tied for fourth place in the National League Central.

## Offseason
### Lockout

The expiration of the league's collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the Major League Baseball Players Association occurred on December 1, 2021 with no new agreement in place. As a result, the team owners voted unanimously to lockout the players stopping all free agency and trades.
The parties came to an agreement on a new CBA on March 10, 2022.

### Rule changes

Pursuant to the new CBA, several new rules were instituted for the 2022 season. The National League will adopt the designated hitter full-time, a draft lottery will be implemented, the postseason will expand from ten teams to twelve, and advertising patches will appear on player uniforms and helmets for the first time.
