Pittsburgh Pirates: Minor League Report Travis MacGregor
When the Pittsburgh Pirates drafted Travis MacGregor in the second round fan were interested to see why. Many felt that he was a reach for the second round, but MacGregor is proving other wise.
With the #68 overall pick and their second round pick, the Pittsburgh Pirates and selected Travis MacGregor from East Lake High School, Florida. MacGregor was committed to Clemson University, but the Pirates were able to sign him for 900,000 dollars. MacGregor has a three pitch mix that includes a fastball that sits 91-94, a plus curve-ball, and an average change-up.
The former Clemson commit was sent to the Pittsburgh Pirates Gulf Coast League affiliate soon after signing.
