PITTSBURGH — The NCAA baseball season ended Monday night with LSU topping Florida in Game 3 of the College World Series. Now comes the real intrigue, at least locally.
With the first overall pick, the Pirates get to choose between a pair of Tigers, outfielder Dylan Crews and pitcher Paul Skenes — though they could obviously go off the board with their selection, but we’ll leave that for another day.
While Crews has been the consensus top pick, Skenes has gained considerable ground thanks to his continued dominance this season and the uniqueness of someone 6-foot-6, 250 pounds regularly throwing 100 mph.
