The 2021 MLB Draft kicks off today and I was asked about doing a mock draft. After thinking about it briefly, I decided this draft was too unsettled to try(and fail), but thought a Braves specific mock draft was something doable.
There are actually two mock drafts, one of them being what the actual Braves might do, and a second covering what I would do if I was in charge of making the picks for the Braves, taking everything into consideration. There will be a short little writeup on each of the selections to explain why each player is picked, because even if the team doesn’t select that player they are very likely looking in that direction for a certain player type.
