Derek Curiel to the Buccos
-
LSU product, right?
@savefarris_psn , how'd us Pirate fans do with this pick?

Lebron also went to the Reds.

He's no Skenes (who is?), but he was one of the leaders of the 25 National Champs.
Solid pickup.

I posted something here in the Forums in 2023 when the Pirates drafted Skenes saying they should have taken Dylan Crews.
You said that Skenes was the better pick.
I think you might have been correct.

Curiel is going to be good. He won't hit a ton of HRs but he is great at everything else. Plus speed, great defender. First step on defense is borderline seeing the future. HIs vision is elite at the plate. His swing a miss rate was lowest in the country at one point late in the season. Had a 40+ game on base streak as a true freshman.
Baseball IQ is unparralled. You can find it online but there was a play where the runner ahead of him might not have touched home. He slowed enough to call Serna back to touch the plate before he did. It was against Oklahoma. Just a great player overall. Seems like a genuinely good dude as well.
