BRADENTON - Bayshore alum Ryan Pope, now a pitcher in the New York Yankees' system, is on the mound at McKechnie Field this afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
A graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design, Pope was taken by the Yanks in the third round of the 2007 draft and spent last season with the team's Double-A team in Trenton, N.J.
He started the eighth inning with Yankees trailing the Pirates, 2-0.
