Potential targets for the OTHER Braves 2026 First Round Draft Pick
"The college baseball season gets underway today, or I should say is already underway with a 9:30 AM game kicking things off, and some high school seasons have already gotten underway. That means we are officially in MLB Draft season. This is an especially big draft for the Atlanta Braves, thanks to Drake Baldwin. As of today the Braves are sitting on a pair of first round picks, coming in at both No. 9 and No. 26"
"One of the biggest bats in this draft after a massive first year on campus, following his transfer from a JUCO. Ballinger is a middle of the order slugger with excellent data and numbers who could potentially hit for both average and power. He pretty much hits everything against everyone, though will need to show better against elite velocity this spring in order to go this high in the draft."
College baseball season is underway and MLB Draft season has begun. The Atlanta Braves currently possess two first-round picks at No. 9 and No. 26, with the No. 26 potentially forfeitable if a qualifying-offer free agent is signed. The Braves gained an extra pick due to Drake Baldwin winning Rookie of the Year. A list of ten potential options for the No. 26 pick is being considered, though prospect stock can change across the spring. Ballinger profiles as a middle-of-the-order bat with potential average and power, while Bowen presents plus tools with questions around his hit tool.
