We are just weeks away from the 2023 MLB Draft where the Atlanta Braves hold the 24th pick in the first round. Keith Law released his second mock draft of the season Tuesday and projects Wake Forest third baseman Brock Wilken to the Braves in the first round.
This is more about opportunism, as Wilken would be great value at the spot. In a draft that’s very heavy on position players, I’d be a little surprised if Atlanta took a pitcher, given that their farm system right now is basically three pitchers in a trenchcoat.
