No. 1 - Jac Caglianone First Baseman/Left-Handed Pitcher Florida

Being able to secure the two-way stud from the National Championship runner ups could be a huge move that would give the Pirates 2 team needs in the organization in one player. I project the southpaw to be a bullpen arm along with a designated hitter and first baseman when needed. Caglianone has a fastball that can reach the triple digits along with a ton of power at the plate. The Gator slugger blasted 33 homeruns and boasts a 1.127 OPS.

Adding a hard-throwing lefty to the Pirate organization in the bullpen department is much needed along with getting a ton of power at the plate. Two things that the Pirate organization lacks within their farm system, they can cover two with just one player.
