    SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – After finishing his junior year at UCLA, Point Loma Pointer alum Duce Gourson has been selected by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the ninth round of the 2024 MLB Draft, taken with the No. 264 overall pick.

    Gourson hit .294, finishing with 44 RBIs as well during his junior year.

    “It’s kind of a whirlwind of emotions, I’ve been expecting this day since I was born as long as I can remember,” Gourson reflects on the milestone.

    Gourson also looks forward to wearing the same uniform as Pittsburgh Pirate and star rookie pitcher Paul Skenes, who was the first overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft.

    Plenty to look forward for the young infielder.
