In 2017, the Pittsburgh Pirates drafted outfielder Calvin Mitchell in the second round. Mitchell was at one time viewed as a potential first-round pick but had a rough senior year in high school which affected his draft stock. Due to this, the Bucs got him in the second with the 50th overall pick. As of now, it looks like a very good find for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The 6’0” and 210-pound outfielder took a $1.3 million signing bonus to have Mitchell join the Pittsburgh Pirates and not play at the University of San Diego.
