Jack Leiter could surpass his Vanderbilt teammate Kumar Rocker as the likely top overall draft pick by the Pittsburgh Pirates in this summer’s draft

The Pittsburgh Pirates finished with a 19-41 record last season. Despite being the only team that finished with fewer than 20 wins, they have a bright outlook for the future. One way they could bring in a ton talent is the draft, and with the number one overall pick in this summer’s draft they’ll be looking to get a player with high potential.
