This past summer the Pittsburgh Pirates had one of the best drafts in recent memory. Not only were they able to secure a high-end hitting prospect in Henry Davis with the first overall selection, but they also got a two-way star who should have went top 15 in Bubba Chandler, a top 100 selection in the 14th round in Braylon Bishop, as well as many other noteworthy names such as Anthony Solometo, Lonnie White Jr., and Owen Kellington.
That was Ben Cherington’s second draft as the general manage of the Pittsburgh Pirates. His first one got him arguably the team’s best prospect in Nick Gonzales and talented right-handed pitchers Carmen Mldozinski and Jared Jones.
