Pittsburgh Pirates Minors: 2018 Draft Review

The last time the Pittsburgh Pirates drafted inside the top 10, the team was still searching for their first playoff birth. Back in 2013, the team drafted an outfielder by the name of Austin Meadows with the ninth overall pick. He was believed to be a future cornerstone of the organization. After having a strong professional début with the Pittsburgh Pirates, the team dealt him for Chris Archer.

Now this year, the Pittsburgh Pirates had the number 10 overall pick in the MLB draft. They once again selected an outfielder who they hope will be a superstar for them one day in the near future.
