We likely won’t know for 4-5 years how well the Pittsburgh Pirates succeeded or failed with their 2025 draft class, but MLB.com is filing the Bucs as winners.
On Wednesday, MLB Pipeline’s Jim Callis selected five teams that did the best at identifying and drafting talent.
Callis picked the Pirates as crafting the second-best draft, only behind the Baltimore Orioles. Listing five teams, Callis slotted the Pirates second.
“For the second straight Draft, Pittsburgh landed the player with the most pure talent in the Draft despite not owning a top-five selection,” Callis said.
