Pirates Select 11 Players Through 10 Rounds Of 2024 MLB Draft

The Pittsburgh Pirates continue to build the organization through the MLB Draft.

Monday saw Day 2 of the 2024 MLB Draft take place, making it through the first 10 rounds. The Pirates kicked off their draft by selecting the first high school player, grabbing Jackson Prep (Miss.) shortstop/outfielder Konnor Griffin with the ninth overall pick. He will try to follow in Paul Skenes’ footsteps making an impact sooner than later — which remains to be seen.

Following the selection of Griffin, the Pirates had a pick in the Competitive Balance–A round. Pittsburgh nabbed yet another high school player with the 37th overall pick, this time selecting Notre Dame High School (Calif.) right-handed pitcher Levi Sterling. He was MLB.com’s 58th-ranked prospect heading into the draft.
