Nah. Braves will go with an arm, as usual.

Speculation seems to be high school pitcher Carter Stewart.

Carter Stewart apparently has an impressive curveball, mid 90s fastball, and is working on a change.
Are we expected to sign him or is he going to college?

LM better come up with the $$$$$ to sign Stewart -- you do not blow an 8th overall pick
They better have done their research as far as signability
From what is being said the kid already has a MLB caliber curveball -- cannot witch about the pick assuming he signs
Looks like a top of the rotation guy assuming health and development -- a lot to like there

Hey, for a short time Minor was not bad -- one of the fairly good Wren picks but he burned out too soon We had too many pitchers who started well in the Wren time that broke down too soon -- hope for better luck from these kids

1B Greyson Jenista with Braves second pick.

1B Greyson Jenista with Braves second pick. Write up on Jenista Jenista has a somewhat unusual combination of frame and tools for a first round hitter. At 6'4/240, normally prospects of that size have real issues with athleticism, defense, and offensive limitations, and go outside of the top few rounds. The difference is that Jenista has plus athleticism for his size, turning in average run times and playing some center field for Wichita State. He also plays some first base but fits best in pro ball in right field, where his 55 arm plays. At the plate, Jenista is something like a post-peak Adam Dunn or Lance Berkman, with patience and also some wild swings and misses early in the count, but 65-grade raw power that can punish mistakes. Jenista also has a more flat-planed swing that is ripe for a loft-inducing tweak.
