Player Background
Bret Helton turned a ninth-round Pirates selection into 366.2 innings of affiliated professional baseball
Bret Helton's path is the most traditional pro-baseball résumé in this group. Pittsburgh drafted the Utah right-hander in 2015, signed him days later and moved him through the system as high as Double-A.
Background
The Pirates selected Helton with pick 277 in the ninth round, and MLB reported his signing on June 12, 2015. MiLB lists 105 career appearances, 55 starts, a 24-24 record, 366.2 innings and 272 strikeouts, with Altoona representing his Double-A stop. His college record had a second dimension too: Utah used him both on the mound and at designated hitter. In 2014, he also earned Pac-12 All-Academic honorable mention.
