The 2022 MLB Draft starts on Sunday night at 7 PM and runs for three days. The Pittsburgh Pirates have the fourth overall pick in the draft. Here’s a rundown of what lies ahead and our coverage of the three-day event.
Another Year With a High Pick
The Pirates have the fourth highest draft bonus pool. They can spend $13,733,900 on their top ten rounds of picks, as well as any over-slot money needed for picks after the tenth round.
Teams can pay up to 5% over their pool before incurring any severe penalties. Anything 5% and under incurs a tax on the overage, while anything over 5% includes a loss of draft picks.
