On this edition of the Pirates’ Prospect Updates, we take a look at one of the team’s top position players, shortstop Mitch Jebb.
Drafted in 2023 out of Michigan State, Jebb was a second round pick for Pittsburgh, looking to draft and develop more young infielders. What they got with Jebb was a player with consistent contact at the plate, with base running savvy to extend plays following a base knock. His time in the Cape Cod League along with three strong seasons as a Spartan saw Jebb make a name for himself ahead of the amateur draft.
