Four down, two to go.
On Monday, the Pirates announced that they had signed their fourth-round draft pick Jack Hartman. Terms of the deal are not yet known.
Shortly after the official announcement, Hartman went to Twitter to share his excitement:
The 21-year-old right-handed reliever went 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA and 22 strikeouts over 12 innings pitched for Appalachian State University in 2020.
“Jack hasn’t been pitching for very long but already shows very promising stuff with a fastball/slider combination that we believe has a chance to be very effective at the professional level,” Ben Cherington said.
