Pre-Draft Report: Pirates

The 2025 Pittsburgh pirates face a huge challenge to defend their 2024 KPSL crown.

Starting pitching is sorely needed in the draft along with a closer and long relief innings. This staff isn’t even close to the dominant set of arms in 2025.

Offensively the lineup will be relying upon Jazz, Ozuna, Edwards, Alonso and Yelich. As far as the draft, the 11th and 12th picks will be critical pieces to add to this team. 

The objective is to be a competitive team at the all-star break. Not sure this is possible.

Pete Alonso plans to bring the lumber for the Pirates and defend the KPSL Championship
