"The Braves made a run on college arms in the 2023 draft, and Braun was a part of that run as he was selected in the 6th round, with Atlanta using the 189th overall pick of the draft to take the righty out of Cal State Northridge. Braun received a signing bonus of $347,500, which was slightly above slot for where he was selected in the draft."
"After appearing in 24 games - 23 starts - with Columbus, Braun got the promotion to triple-A Gwinnett, where he finished out the year. There was a bit of a concerning trend with Braun during his double-A stint, as he allowed 19 homers in those 24 outings. However, he managed to clear that up once he joined the Stripers - albeit in a smaller sample size."
Braun was a 2023 sixth-round pick (189th overall) out of Cal State Northridge and signed for $347,500, slightly above slot. His 2024 performance featured a 3.26 ERA across two levels, including a 2.38 ERA with Mississippi, creating high expectations for 2025 focused on continued progression. In 2025 he made 24 appearances (23 starts) with Double-A Columbus before a late promotion to Triple-A Gwinnett. He allowed 19 homers during his Double-A stint but posted a 1.42 ERA over three starts (19 innings) with Gwinnett, striking out 11 and walking four. He did not reach Atlanta in 2025 but solidified top-prospect status and remains on track for 2026.
