Fangraphs projects Dylan Lesko and Cayden Wallace to the Braves

Fangraphs has not had much draft information for us this year, but Eric Longenhagen was able to get a mock draft together on the day of the draft with some exciting picks falling to the Atlanta Braves. At 20th overall Longenhagen projects high school right handed starter Dylan Lesko and at 35th overall he went with Arkansas third baseman Cayden Wallace.

Lesko is arguably the top arm in this draft, and would be seen universally as such were it not for his Tommy John surgery this April. He features perhaps the best changeup we’ve ever seen from a prep arm, a premium mid-90’s fastball, and a breaking ball that has taken major steps forward and also flashes plus potential.
