The Pirates selected a late-bloomer inoutfielder Carter Gwost from Little Falls High School in Minnesota with the 503rd overall pick in the 17th round.
At 6-3, 215 pounds, Gwost is a Nebraska commit. He burst onto the college circuit late this season after hitting for a .444 average with nine home runs. He's committed to the Cornhuskers as a two-way player, but he's a pitching project and will try out for time on the mound if he makes it to campus in the fall, as his real strength lies in his offense.
