Claiborne was a two-way player in HS, as a thirdbaseman and
pitcher. The Pirates drafted him for the mound, where he has an upper-80s
fasball that reaches a little higher at times, a good slider and good
command. He has good power with the bat. He's committed to Tulane
and is considered a very tough sign. Getting him locked up would go a long
ways toward salvaging a draft that included a lot of overdrafts in the early
rounds, but the Pirates almost never sign players like this under Dave
Littlefield.
