Instructs Notes: First Look at a Hard Throwing Pirates 2016 Draft Pick

BRADENTON, Fla. - I've been under the weather this weekend, which means I didn't get a chance to go to instructs yesterday, and I'm just now getting to my notes from Friday morning. There wasn't a lot of action, but I did get my first look at two of the 2016 draft picks, and another look at a 2016 pick I wrote about last month.

First up, there is John Pomeroy, who was drafted in the 13th round, and features a lot of fastball velocity. He threw two innings, and was sitting mostly 93-96 MPH, hitting 97 and 98 once each.
