When the Pittsburgh Pirates announced Travis MacGregor with their 68th overall pick, there was not much immediate excitement. The analysts at MLB Network had him ranked as a day two pick, while fans had a hard time finding big scouting reports on him. However, the former Clemson commit ended up being tagged as one of those quick and late rising prospects. This means that as the draft approached, he showed an uptick in performance and teams started to really take notice of him. Obviously, the Pittsburgh Pirates were one of those teams that really liked what they saw, and they gave him $900,000 to sign, albeit that was below the slot value.
