The Pirates stayed in the infield for their fourth-round pick, selecting Pepperdine third baseman Chase d'Arnaud.
d'Arnaud (6-3, 200) batted .314 this season for the Waves with 11 home runs and 50 RBI. He also had a .547 slugging percentage and an OPS of .962. d'Arnaud also showed good speed by stealing 10 bases in 16 attempts this season.
Defense appears to be d'Arnaud's weak link as he made a team-high 20 errors.
He was named a Freshman All-American by Collegiate Baseball magazine in 2006 after batting .282 with two home runs and 22 RBI. d'Arnaud followed that up by hitting .331 with three home runs and 28 RBI during his sophomore season.
