New Mock Draft from MLB Pipeline; Same Old Name

Published:

Cal Poly shortstop Brooks Lee has gone to the Pittsburgh Pirates in mock drafts so many times recently, it feels like he’s already on the team. Kiley McDaniel from ESPN had him going to the Pirates yesterday in his first mock draft. Today is the weekly mock draft from MLB Pipeline, as Jim Callis and Jonathan Mayo take turns every other week with their picks. This week is Mayo’s turn and he has the Pirates taking Brooks Lee with the fourth overall pick.

Mayo has the same three players as McDaniel for the first three picks, just in a slightly different order. Mayo has Druw Jones going first to the Baltimore Orioles, Elijah Green going second to the Arizona Diamondbacks, and Jackson Holliday going third to the Texas Rangers. You can read about all three of them in the links in our Draft Prospect Watch article for Brooks Lee.

We will have a new Draft Prospect Watch article on Sunday morning. You can read the latest one here.

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
