The Atlanta Braves used their 14th-round pick in the 2021 MLB Draft to select infielder Caleb Durbin out of Washington University. No, not the University of Washington in Seattle, rather a small Division III school located in St. Louis.
Preseason report card
Durbin was a bit of a wild card coming into the season. He had shown excellent bat-to-ball skills in college, striking out 10 times in 438 plate appearances over his three-year college career. That is not a misprint, ten times in 438 PA, for a 2.3 percent strikeout rate.
