The Atlanta Braves

Houck is a freaking Parkview kid too.

I really wish this organization valued position players

Is the 95-99 real or like Kolby Allards mid 90’s coming out? Lol

Real.

Pretty much everyone was connecting them to a prep bat. Just don’t get it

That split change is nasty tho

I just don’t buy the command. Watched him in CWS. He’s got great stuff but it’s some Ian Anderson type fastball command

His last three starts prior to LSU were super dominant

I saw him projected to Atlanta this past week.

His three starts before that last game were pretty crazy

 

[LotteryPick]

I don’t dislike the pitcher at all. I trust the Braves in pitching development — just really hate they never draft a bat.

 

[Regulator]

I think the organizational philosophy is to load up on pitching. If you don’t have pitching, you can’t compete, and pitchers are much harder to project so you gotta get more of them.

I get it stinks to draft pitchers all the time but to get that arsenal at 24 is pretty wild

Also saw he was #6 on Fangraphs overall draft board. That’s a large discrepancy from everyone else but they already have him as a top 100 prospect.

 

[Regulator]

Tighten up the control a little and bring him out of the pen later this season.

 

[Regulator]

That’s a very Georgia name too. Right up there with Dansby Swanson.

Nice

Waldrep is a solid pick at 24.

 

[Volfan1000]

Still have picks 59 and 70 to select.

Isn't Waldrep a Georgia native?

 

[Wickman]

US/Canada is insane

 

[LotteryPick]

Would imagine they pick Joe Whitman here if he’s available. College lefty

 

[LotteryPick]

Drue Hackenberg … #200 prospect on MLB.

Understood Waldrep … but this is just a bad pick.
