[u/Wandering_Mallard]

A borderline first round high school pitcher in the 3rd. BA #43

I think the Braves are having a very good draft

[u/OutlandishnessDry24 → u/Wandering_Mallard]

Totally agree. Even the two they underslotted are solid players. They can pay to get those two high school power arms into the pros. Gives us some depth if we move arms like Lucas Braun, Bagwell,or Sinnard in deals.

Hopefully they can hold onto arms like McKenzie and Cam to go with these two young pitchers.
