The Pittsburgh Pirates opened the amateur draft with a Louisville slugger. That freed up the Texas Rangers to grab another famous baseball name at No. 2. The Pirates selected Louisville catcher Henry Davis and the Rangers grabbed Vanderbilt pitcher Jack Leiter — son of big league All-Star Al Leiter — with the first two picks of Sunday night's draft, the first held as part of All-Star weekend.
