Gustavo Melendez - Goes to Pirates in fourth round The Pirates have selected Melendez with the 113th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft. Impact Melendez doesn't turn 18 until October and hails from Puerto Rico. He is listed at just 5-foot-8, 160 pounds, but scouts like his ability at the plate and he has received some Ozzie Albies comps. A plus runner now, Melendez may slow down as he matures, although he has a decent chance to stick at shortstop.
