The Miami Marlins chose to go with a player that fits their mold in the 15th round. Brady Puckett is a Chris Volstad type pitcher who has shown improvement at each level throughout his career. Puckett was drafted as a junior out of Lipscomb University.
This wasn’t the first time that Puckett was selected in the Major League Baseball draft. Following a dominant senior year in high school, the Mets made him their 33rd round selection in 2014. He passed, and instead improved his draft stock by nearly 20 rounds in three short years.
