The Atlanta Braves have the 24th pick in Sunday’s Rule 4 draft, and as usual, no one can say with certainty who gets the nod.

I had the opportunity to ask ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel a couple of questions about the Atlanta Braves‘ possible choices and how they view the draft under GM Alex Anthopoulos.

The 2021 draft lacks a consensus, unquestioned, number one prospect. We’ve heard the names Jack Leiter and Kumar Rocker nonstop for months, but neither player pitcher comes in at number one on any of the big three lists.
