The 2022 MLB Draft is right around the corner and who the Braves will draft is anyone’s guess right now. Once the Braves traded the Royals for the 35th overall pick in the draft, a plethora of options were opened up to them now that they have a top 10 bonus pool in the class.
Most of the mock drafts previously had the Braves connected to college pitchers, in particular Cooper Hjerpe and Gabriel Hughes. That could very well still happen depending on the picks ahead of the Braves in the first round, but Baseball America’s Carlos Collazo has the Braves taking prep RHP Dylan Lesko.
