Atlanta Braves selected Kolby Allard with the 14th pick in the 2015 MLB Draft out of San Clemente High School in California. The extremely talented 18-year-old missed most of his high school senior season because of a stress fracture in his back. He is listed on MLB.com as the Braves 4th top prospect heading into the 2016 season.
This stress fracture in his back had been known to have required a surgical procedure and rehab. This was prior to the Braves selecting him in the 1st round and offering him a $3.04 million signing bonus.
