Welcome back to Locked On Pirates!

On today's episode, host Ethan Smith previews the two-game set against one of the most, if not the most, surprising teams in baseball in the league-leading Kansas City Royals.

Also, the Pirates bullpen may not have many names that everyone in baseball would notice, but Ethan tells you why the Buccos bullpen is a top-10 bullpen in baseball and has potential to only get better.

Finally, MLB.com released their first mock draft of 2021 for the MLB Draft and although it is 11 weeks away, the experts at the site took a stab at who the Pirates might select with the number one overall pick when the draft comes around.
