The Atlanta Braves have always put a focus on drafting, scouting and developing within the organization.
New president of baseball operations John Hart has put an even greater emphasis on the draft and restocking the farm system. Hart prioritizes the draft, as evidenced by the Braves’ six selections in the first 89 picks of this year’s draft —the most of any MLB team.
The Braves will be looking to use those picks in the upcoming June 8 MLB draft to further upgrade the talent in the organization and build toward the future.
As the 2015 MLB draft approaches, let’s take a look back at the past nine first-round picks for the Atlanta Braves.
