The Pirates didn't do so well here:

Pirates: 2011 (29.7 bWAR) – The Pirates’ 2011 class is almost exclusively about the contributions of first overall pick Gerrit Cole, but he obviously reached his peak after being traded to Houston. Josh Bell (2nd round) looked to have turned the corner at the plate in the first half of 2019.

I think Glasnow is going to start adding significantly to that total for the 2011 class. And watch for Meadows to possibly end up producing the most WAR of any recent draft pick. He's just 25, so he has another 4-6 season of peak performance.
