## Resource

The Pirates stunned the MLB draft by taking LSU outfielder Derek Curiel fifth overall — a gamble on his contact and on-base skills, not his power. At 21, he’s got elite bat control and a knack for handling high-velocity pitches, but only 13 homers in two college seasons. While his development pedigree gives the Pirates hope, his lack of pop raises questions about his ceiling. A solid B-minus pick — a calculated bet on contact over power, with room to grow.
