This extra first round pick is where the Pittsburgh Pirates took players such as Vic Black and Barrett Barnes under the old draft rules in the supplemental first round, Connor Joe in the Lottery A Round with the pick coming from their trade of Bryan Morris to the Marlins, and Ke’Bryan Hayes with their compensation for Russell Martin signing in Toronto. This season, pick number 41 comes from the Lottery Round A pick, which is the first portion of the Competitive Balance Picks. Competitive Balance picks are rewarded to those in the smallest ten markets or smallest ten revenue streams.
