The state of Georgia is well known for producing a lot of baseball talent and the Braves are well-known to draft from that crop of talent with regularity. With that in mind, et’s take a look at this year’s draft class for college and prep players from the Peach State.
College players:
Emerson Hancock, RHP, Georgia - Top 5 prospect in the draft with four pitches that should be above average or better.
Cole Wilcox, RHP, Georgia - Was considered a 1st round talent out of HS. Hasn’t developed much over 3 years, but his change-up has improved to be an above average pitch.
