The Braves signed four undrafted free agents, and one of them could become their next power-armed closer.
Undrafted free agents are talented players who might have been taken if rounds 21-40 still existed. Don’t look down your nose at them because they were ranked highly, if at all. The long list of UDFA who had impactful careers after a scout fought to get them signed includes Hall of Famer Bruce Sutter.
Braves have gone heavy on pitching when it comes to undrafted free agents so far
A lot of good undrafted players have worn the Tomahawk; Paul Assenmacher, Darren O’Day, Kirby Yates, and current Brave that the team misses badly, Joe Jiménez, were all ignored in the draft.
