The Pittsburgh Pirates have the rights to the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 draft and they’ll have a tough decision ahead. Do you go with the proven pitchers or the high school projects? The most likely player to be taken by the Pirates appears to be SS Marcelo Mayer out of California. There are a few other SS prospects at the top of the class along with Vanderbilt P Jack Leiter.
