With just a few days to go until the 2022 MLB Draft and with that the last group of mock drafts are starting to roll out. Jonathan Mayo of MLB Pipeline released this mock, our first since the Braves traded for the 35th overall pick, and projected both of those picks. With the 20th overall pick Mayo has the Braves taking Gonzaga right handed pitcher Gabriel Hughes and with the 35th overall pick Oklahoma State right handed pitcher Justin Campbell.
Hughes has long been connected to the Braves with the 20th pick, and fits the roll of college pitchers that Atlanta has gone with recently.
