\nThe Pittsburgh Pirates selected Jason DeCaro<\/a> as the No. 80 overall pick in the third round of the MLB Draft on Saturday after a junior season at UNC when he combined heavy innings, swing-and-miss stuff, and a steady, process-driven approach. DeCaro\u2019s ascent to the ace of the Tar Heels\u2019 staff led to College World Series starts in multiple seasons.
