The 18 teams that did not qualify for the 2022 postseason were eligible for the draft lottery, with weighted odds based on winning percentage. The first six selections were awarded by lottery, which made it possible for the team with the worst record to pick as late as No. 7.
The 2023 MLB draft will be held in July in Seattle.
The Pirates have picked No. 1 overall five times previously, most recently in 2021, when they selected Louisville catcher Henry Davis.
High school shortstop Jackson Holliday — the son of seven-time All-Star outfielder Matt Holliday — was the No. 1 choice in the 2022 MLB draft by the Baltimore Orioles.
