Braves have history with developing some of the best catchers in baseball with Javy Lopez and Brian McCann. Even some fan favorites like Evan Gattis and Eddie Perez came up through the Braves system. Shea Langeliers has a chance to add his name into the mix.
When Shea Langeliers was drafted in 2019 with the 9th overall pick, it wasn’t the first time the Atlanta Braves took a catcher in the top 10. Going back to 1989, the Braves took Tyler Houston 2nd overall; Dale Murphy was originally drafted as a catcher back in 1974 and was the 5th overall selection.
