Since the draft, and the signing deadline, we haven’t heard much about the Pirates 2022 picks. Within the last couple of days, third round pick Jack Brannigan made his professional debut in the Florida Complex League.
Apparently two games at the FCL level was enough, as before Bradenton’s game on Saturday, they promoted the product of Notre Dame and he made his Single-A debut. He was the first of the draft picks to play with the full season minor league teams.
He made an immediate impact, going 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, two RBI, a walk as well as two stolen bases.
