Braves Projected to Add to a Position of Major League Strength in This Summer's Draft

The Atlanta Braves have a farm system built on pitching.

If you think about it, that makes sense. The Braves have every defensive position on the diamond locked up long-term, with the first starter to hit free agency slated to be shortstop Orlando Arcia after the 2026 season, assuming his club option for 2025 is picked up.

But there’s still a need to develop impact position players in the minor leagues, to both supplement the depth of the major league roster and to give you options for your bench, as injury replacements, and as options at designated hitter.
