After drafting Henry Davis first overall back in 2021, the Pittsburgh Pirates used their next four picks on high school players, with each of them getting over slot deals in the process.
Deeper down in the draft, the Pirates swung for the fences again, seeing another opportunity to add a high upside prep player to the system. They selected Braylon Bishop in the 14th round, pick 403rd overall.
While some of the other names get more recognition, Bishop was a highly regarded prospect in his own right. The outfielder from Arkansas was among the top-100 prospects in both Baseball America and MLB Pipeline’s rankings.
