Draft day didn’t start out like any normal Monday morning for Justin Meis. The Pittsburgh Pirates’ 10th-round pick found himself in the right place at the right time to celebrate one of his baseball dreams coming true.
“I was actually on vacation with my family in Deep Creek, Maryland. Our family’s been going down there since I’ve been alive. It’s just the same week every year and it happened to fall on draft week. I was trying not to watch the draft actually. I was just trying to let it come to me and not psych myself out.
