Braves' 2021 MLB Draft Guide and Top Prospects to Target

After winning their third straight NL East title with a 35-25 record in 2020, the Atlanta Braves will choose No. 24 overall in the 2021 MLB draft.

The Braves have done as well as anyone drafting and developing first-round talent in recent years, with guys like Austin Riley (2015), Mike Soroka (2015) and Ian Anderson (2016) all key pieces of the current core.

They have picked No. 24 overall twice before, selecting left-hander Macay McBride in 2001 and outfielder Cody Johnson in 2006. McBride had a couple solid seasons as a lefty reliever, while Johnson failed to reach the majors.
