The Atlanta Braves drafted left-handed high school pitcher Kolby Allard with the 14th overall pick in the 2015 MLB draft. The Atlanta Braves drafted left-handed high school pitcher Joey Wentz with the 40th overall pick in the 2016 MLB draft.
These two young pitchers are highly ranked in the Braves system and these promotions are something to be very excited about.
Allard is ranked on MLB.com as the Braves #4 ranked prospect and on Ben Chase’s mid-season prospect list as our #10. Wentz is not yet ranked on most prospect lists (non of our recent draft picks are)
Both lefties are movin’ on up!
