Pittsburgh Pirates Draft: A Look at Miami Pitcher Slade Cecconi

When the 2020 Major League Baseball Draft eventually does happen, the Pittsburgh Pirates will have three picks inside the top 45. They have the seventh, 31st, and 44th picks in the draft respectively. We have looked at several options over the last week at who the team could take with the 31st pick, which has included multiple prospects.

Another prospect who could be considered at the 31st pick is right-handed starter Slade Cecconi. Cecconi pitches collegiately for the Miami Hurricanes and actually played high school ball in Florida as well. He has the big-right hander frame, standing at 6’4” and weighing 215 pounds, which gives him a ton of projectability.
