LHP Kolby Allard made his professional debut with the GCL Braves on Monday morning
It finally happened, the moment we've been waiting for since Early June. First round pick Kolby Allard made his Braves debut in spectacular fashion, striking out all 3 batters he faced-2 looking-in his 1 inning. He impressed scouts with his great fastball and knockout curve, but fell from a potential Top 5 pick to the Braves at 14 after suffering from and missing time with a stress injury in his back. Atlanta was ecstatic to pick up the California boy, but he waited until very close to the deadline to sign, coming very close to honoring his commitment to UCLA.
