The Pittsburgh Pirates were on the clock three times during the first two rounds of the MLB Draft Sunday night. Of those picks, two pitchers were taken while one middle infielder was selected.
Let’s take a look at the new faces to the Pirates.
No. 1 — RHP Paul Skenes, LSU
Considering we wrote about the hard-throwing right-hander from LSU shortly after he was selected, we’ll peruse over his traits for now.
Skenes was tabbed to go either in the top three or first overall for months and the Pirates wasted no time in picking him.
