Jacob Lombard is selected as the Braves' first pick in the 2026 MLB Draft, chosen for his high upside despite being overslot.
The draws of Lombard is that he is the son of a coach and former big leaguer, who has a mature, advanced game. He has in the past shown a good feel for hitting, but also has potentially plus power and plus or better speed. Defensively he is a prospect who looks like he will stick at shortstop and be a quality defender there.
