The Pittsburgh Pirates shocked some folks by selecting high school right-hander Seth Hernandez with the 6th overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft. We break down the pick, what it means for the future, and how it fits into Ben Cherington’s draft strategy.

Paul Skenes will start for the National League in Atlanta.
Oneil Cruz is swinging for the fences in the Home Run Derby.
