MLB mock draft 2016: Braves select high school pitcher Riley Pint

The Braves have the No. 3 pick in this summer's draft, giving them their highest selection in decades. While there is still plenty of time for prospects to see their stock rise or drop prior to June 9, we have a pretty good idea of who will be in the running for a top-five selection.

Baseball America recently released a mock draft for the first round. They see the Braves selecting high school pitcher Riley Pint with the No. 3 pick.

3. Atlanta has been linked to college position players, but the Braves haven't used their top pick on a college position player since 1991, when they took Mike Kelly with the second overall pick out of Arizona State.
