The Pittsburgh Pirates took a shortstop from Texas in the Second Round of the 2024 MLB Draft.
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Pirates continue to select high school athletes in the 2024 MLB Draft, as they took a shorstop from Texas in the Second Round.
Sanford committed to Texas A&M and signed his National Letter of Intent, but both head coach Jim Schlossnagle leaving for Texas and a potential pick value of around $2 million might convince him to join the Pirates. Sanford stands at 6-foot-1 and 175 pounds and hits left-handed, while throwing right-handed. He is a great fielder and his speed benefits him on the base paths and as a shorstop. His hitting is good for his age, just 18 years old, but some improvement at the plate will make him a true starter in the MLB.
