## Resource

The Pirates’ late-round draft haul is quietly exploding with potential, starting with power-hitting slugger Tre Phelps, a Georgia phenom who crushed 41 homers in college and could be a steal if he tames his swing-and-miss tendencies. Also rising fast: high school lefty Spencer Evans, who already throws 95 mph and mixes in solid off-speed stuff, and fifth-round college arm Ryan Marohn, whose elite control and strikeout ability could make him a reliable starter—if he can regain health and add velocity. With a track record of turning day-two picks into impact players, Pittsburgh’s hoping this group becomes their next hidden gem.
