The Pittsburgh Pirates have drafted Colorado Mesa University outfielder Bligh Madris in the ninth round of the 2017 MLB draft. Madris wasn't in the Baseball America top 500, and there wasn't a lot of information readily available on him, although Jonathan Mayo said that he heard Madris had a "good feel to hit."

Madris showed that this past year, hitting for a .422/.513/.757 line with 17 home runs in 218 at-bats. He also stole 14 bases in 18 attempts. That comes in a small division, so the stats should be taken with that disclaimer, but it's good to see when paired with the brief scouting report.

While Madris didn't rate as a top 500 prospect, Baseball America did have him as the 12th best prospect in a three star class in Colorado.
