When talking about the 2021 draft for the Pittsburgh Pirates, a name that doesn’t usually come up immediately is Brenden Dixon, which probably shouldn’t be too much of a surprise as the infielder was the team’s last pick.
Dixon began his college career at Texas, playing briefly before the pandemic shut down the season. He transferred to Weatherford JC and had a commitment to play for Arkansas, before being drafted and signed by the Pirates.
Over the course of a long season, it’s expected to see a lot of ups and downs, especially when injuries are involved.
