WTM’S PIRATE PLAYER PROFILES

Bodrato was the first high school player taken by the Pirates after the 11th round. His draft video has him as a pitcher who hit high-80s and he’s topped out at 94 MPH, but the Pirates announced him as a third baseman. He is old for his draft class, turning 19 back in February. He has a commitment to Florida, which means he will likely be a tough sign. Prep Baseball Report calls him a fantastic athlete with a strong build who is a line drive hitter, possessing excellent speed and a strong outfield arm.
