The Braves had none of their players selected in either the major or minor league portion of the draft, with their only involvement being the selection of New York Mets left handed pitcher Tyler Thomas in the Triple-A rounds.
Thomas began his trek to the professional ranks at Fresno State, pitching three years for the Bulldogs with quite a bit of success. In 2015 he had a terrific Cape Cod League showing with a 1.02 ERA in 44 1/3 innings, however his low fastball velocity ended up making him a lower level draft prospect. In 2017 Thomas was a seventh round draft pick of the Chicago Cubs, and he spent barely more than a year in their system. In 2018 he was part of a trade between the Cubs and the Texas Rangers that netted Braves legend Jesse Chavez for Chicago, and there Thomas would spend most of his professional career to date. Thomas reached Triple-A in 2021 and 2022, but spent little time at both levels and only struck out three batters in eight innings. He was ultimately released at the tail end of 2022, ending his tenure with the Rangers.
