Brandon Cumpton might have surprised some of his fans when he signed a deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates last week.
The former Greenbrier High School product still had a year of eligibility left at Georgia Tech, but he skipped out on finishing his education to become a professional athlete.
The decision came late in the minor league season. The 21-year-old starting pitcher was added to the State College Spikes’ active roster Tuesday. He was drafted in the ninth round by the Pirates more than two months ago.
