The 2016 MLB draft is two weeks away. The Pirates will pick 22nd in the first round, while also having the 41st and 68th picks on day one. This is the third year in a row that the Pirates will be picking in the bottom half of the draft, as they start to see the impact of winning at the Major League level.
The early results from the first two drafts have been good so far. Cole Tucker shows a lot of promise at a young age. The 2014 first round pick finished strong in West Virginia last year, before going down with labrum surgery.
