With the Pirates taking Henry Davis with the first overall pick in 2021, they were able to save money and draft several high upside prep players, signing them away from a college commitment.
That means there were plenty of young prospects to get excited about entering the system. Anthony Solometo and Bubba Chandler were the biggest of the prep additions. They both found their way to Bradenton this past season, and showed why they were so highly touted during the draft process.
We are still waiting to get an opportunity to see the promise from another prep player, thanks to an unfortunate injury.
