2020 MLB Draft: Pirates take outfielder in latest mock
The 2020 Major League Baseball Draft is going to look and feel strange. Like the 2020 NFL Draft before it, MLB will employ an online-only, virtual format for its draft, slated to begin Wednesday, June 10.
When the festivities begin, the Pirates will take the cyber-stage for the first time at No. 7 overall, a position that can bring a Hall of Fame-level boom or a historic bust.
In his latest 2020 MLB Mock Draft, ESPN MLB Insider Kiley McDanielhas the Pirates making a selection that could potentially bolster their lineup with raw power in 21-year-old, 6-foot-3, 200-pound outfielder Heston Kjerstad.
