Braves Draft Shift: Outfielders Dominate | Atlanta Braves News

With no lefties selected yet, they’ve missed some top prospects but still landed a standout in 18-year-old righty Jensen Hirschkorn, whose 95-96 mph fastball and control have scouts buzzing. The draft’s not over — round five kicks off Sunday — and fans are watching to see if Atlanta sticks with position players or finally adds lefty firepower.
