For the first time in awhile, it looks as if the Braves drafted some bona fide big league talent.
For a kid who’s pitched just six professional innings, top pick Kolby Allard has raised a lot of hopes, striking out 12, walking none and allowing one hit. It’s the smallest of sample sizes but it’s clear this Allard is no Sean Gilmartin and Jason Hursh.
The Braves’ third pick overall has been even more impressive, filling a gargantuan hole in the Braves system. Austin Riley has done nothing but dominate, first w/ the GCL Braves, now in Danville.
