Ke'Bryan Hayes, Pirates agree to terms

The Pirates have agreed to terms with No. 32 overall draft pick Ke'Bryan Hayes, Howard Chen of CSN Houston tweets (via Pirates Prospects). There's no word on the bonus, although the allotted value of the pick was $1,855,000, and I imagine Hayes will get pretty close to that amount. Hayes was committed to the University of Tennessee, although he was considered signable.

Hayes, the son of MLB veteran and former Pirate Charlie Hayes, is a righty-hitting third baseman, like his father. He's a line-drive hitter who might eventually develop a bit of power as well.
