North Shore Nine

The latest episode of North Shore Nine dives deep into the 2025 MLB Draft with one of the best in the business—Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline. With the Pirates holding the 6th overall pick and $14 million in bonus pool cash, we break down every angle: how this year’s class compares to past years, who’s realistically in play at No. 6, and why this draft feels more unpredictable than ever. We discuss the top college arms, high school bats, and explore scenarios involving names like Jamie Arnold, Seth Hernandez, Aiva Arquette, Ike Irish, and more. Plus, Jim gives insight into the Pirates’ front office strategy and what past drafts tell us about their thinking. We even spend a few minutes on Pirates prospects like Konnor Griffin and Bubba Chandler.

If you’re a die-hard Bucs fan or just love the MLB Draft, this is a must-watch. Listen or watch now on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts.
