The Rule 5 Draft is always a fun portion of the annual Winter Meetings. Players from all levels are up for grabs in hopes of making a team better.
This year’s draft, however, is one the Pittsburgh Pirates will want to forget.
In the MLB portion of the draft, the Pirates selected Jose Hernandez, a left-handed pitcher from the Los Angeles Dodgers, with the third overall pick. Hernandez made it as far as Double-A last season and throws anywhere between 94-96 miles per hour on his four-seam fastball.
Here is some footage of Jose Hernandez.
