MLB Draft Experts LOVE how Atlanta Approached the 2026 MLB Draft | Atlanta Braves Podcast

Lindsay Crosby recaps the Braves’ 2026 MLB Draft, noting MLB’s hard-to-follow broadcast and Atlanta’s 21 picks, including No. 9 AJ Gracia and No. 26 Carter Beck. He explains why the Braves targeted athletic, multi-sport, often younger and cold-weather prospects, saved money early to sign multiple high-upside prep arms, and prioritized pitching depth over an overslot top pick. The episode runs through brief scouting notes on all selections—highlighting Cade McCarthy, Jensen Hirschkorn, and other prep pitchers and catchers—plus early industry praise from Baseball America and the July 27 signing deadline.
