This is the start of a series leading up to this year’s draft. I’m going to recap the Pirates’ last five drafts, starting with 2013. Later on, I’m hoping to do a system overview.
Numbers are draft round.
Top Picks
1-9. Austin Meadows, OF. As we all know, Meadows has been plagued by hamstring injuries. He also hasn’t put up good numbers in AAA, with an OPS close to .700 in about 140 games. This year he’s stayed healthy so far, putting up a solid average and an ISO around .100, which marks him more as a fourth outfielder than anything else.
