Atlanta Braves: Bryce Ball could be teams' 1st All-Star DH

Bryce Ball has been turning heads in Atlanta Braves’ camp this spring. Many fans were introduced to the 24th-round draft pick from last year via a clip of his smooth, powerful swing during his first BP session.

Wednesday he made his presence felt with the Braves by promptly homering in his first at-bat.

Bryce Ball’s swing is as smooth as it is powerful. Standing 6-foot-6, 235 pounds, Ball is an imposing and powerful hitter.

Last year as a junior at Dallis Baptist University he led the Missouri Valley Conference in home runs and RBI and was named a third-team All-American.
