If there's one thing that Alex Anthopoulos, Dana Brown, and the Atlanta Braves scouting department love it’s college pitching, and perhaps no college starter provides the upside of Gonzaga’s Gabriel Hughes. Hughes has been the second-most commonly projected player to be selected by the Braves, and his talent and athleticism are the driving force behind these projections. With the Braves holding the 20th selection in the draft the top end talent is unlikely to fall to them, and if they’re looking for upside and a chance to make a real splash with a starter Hughes could be one of those options.
