With the 24 pick in the 2024 MLB draft, the Atlanta Braves selected left handed pitcher and high schooler 17-year-old Cam Caminiti out of Saguaro High in Scottsdale, Arizona. Caminiti was the seventh high schooler drafted in the first round of the 2024 edition of the MLB draft and was the first high school pitcher taken.
“It feels incredible,” Caminiti said in an interview with MLB Network just moments after being drafted. “I was a little nervous, but now I’m just excited to be on the next step in the journey and I couldn’t be more excited.”
Caminiti has some family ties to the MLB.
