In the 2016 Major League Baseball Draft, the Pittsburgh Pirates decided to go heavy on pitching through the first few rounds. In fact, the team took five pitchers with their first seven round picks. The most notable prospect in that draft class was their first-round pick, Will Craig. Craig is currently in Triple-A and is regarded as the best power prospect in the Bucs system.
However, the Pittsburgh Pirates may have found a diamond in the rough with one of those pitchers they drafted. In the sixth round, the Pirates took a left-handed starting pitcher out of Michigan State by the name of Cam Vieaux.
