Scouting report on Braves 2nd rounder Drew Waters
Photo by Daniel Shirey/Getty ImagesThe Braves were long rumored to be linked to Mark Vientos and Tristan Beck in the second round but instead had a former local five tool outfielder introduce the draft choice of a new local five tool outfielder.
I had Drew Waters ranked at 38 on my draft board, and anytime you get a guy ranked with a higher ranking than the draft slot you're picking in, it's a solid pick.
Background
Waters played for Etowah High School in Woodstock, Georgia. He’s 6’2” 185 pounds and a switch hitter who throws right handed. He doesn't turn 19 until two days before the end of the year and he's committed to Georgia, where he had an older brother who did play there.
