Atlanta Braves select 1B/OF Greyson Jenista in the 2nd Round of the 2018 MLB Draft

The Atlanta Braves draft 1B/OF Greyson Jenista with the the 49th overall pick in the 2nd round. He’s a 6’4” big left handed hitter who shared the field with 1st rounder Alec Bohm and many had Jenista as the better player coming into the spring.

Jenista has played all outfield positions and some first base. He projects as a right or left field though since he does have solid athleticism.

John Sickels has this to say:

You may think from his general appearance, size and weight that he’s a hulking slugger but that’s not true at all: he’s a good athlete actually.
