The Atlanta Braves broke everyone's mind when they didn't select a pitcher first, or second or third? It wasn't a sign of the apocalypse, and everything returned to normal with the fourth pick. When the dust settled, the Braves selected three shortstops, a second baseman, three outfielders, and, of course, 13 pitchers.
Who knew the Braves were allowed to draft a non-pitcher first?
As I go through the selections, remember that selecting a player as a shortstop doesn’t mean the player will remain at shortstop. Speaking of shortstops, let’s start there. All scouting scores in this post come from Baseball America’s prospect list.
