The Pittsburgh Pirates selected right-handed pitcher Seth Hernandez with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 Major League Baseball draft. The 19-year-old from Corona High School in Southern California posted a 9-1 record with a 0.39 ERA this season, striking out 105 batters in 53⅓ innings while touching 100 mph with his fastball. Hernandez, a two-time High School Player of the Year, is widely regarded for his advanced change-up and 6-foot-4 frame. Corona High made further draft history when shortstop Billy Carlson went No. 10 to the Chicago White Sox, marking the first time since 2007 that two players from the same high school were taken in the top 10. The milestone highlights the strength of the Southern California program, which could see a third player chosen later in the first round.
