Overview
Drafted as a fifth-year senior, Lege played for two seasons at Delgado Community College, then two at Ole Miss. He had a rough junior season, hitting just 243/332/359, but hit 323/424/645 with 13 home runs as a senior. He drew 22 walks while striking out only 16 times. Lege played third as a junior and left as a senior; the Pirates announced him as a third baseman. His senior season ended in late May due to a fractured thumb, so he may not be able to play for a bit.
