Braves Target Power Hitting Shortstop

The Braves are poised to shake up their draft strategy with a top-nine pick, potentially targeting Kentucky shortstop Tyler Bell—a rare position player choice after years of focusing on pitchers. Bell, though sidelined by a non-throwing arm injury, showed explosive power and improved metrics down the stretch, finishing with a .343 average and a .608 slugging percentage. If healthy, he could become Atlanta’s cornerstone, blending switch-hitting prowess and elite defensive potential to redefine their future.
