With Max Fried not ready to go for the Braves and Tucker Davidson being used last night, Atlanta was in need of a pitcher to turn to for Tuesday’s game. They chose to select Bryce Elder to make that start, culminating a meteoric rise through the system for the 22-year old right handed pitcher. Elder was a star for the University of Texas in college and when the Braves had the opportunity to pick him up in the fifth round of the shortened 2020 draft they were excited to jump on it and pay him an overslept bonus to forgo his final college season.
