David O'Brien @dobrienatl Shewmake grades out above-average defensively and #Braves think he could profile as a future utility player if they don't use him at short exclusively David O'Brien @dobrienatl Shewmake is a high-contact, low-strikeout hitter, was SEC Frosh of Year in 2017, consistent hitter with good speed. UTILITY PLAYER??Move him to the OF Waters, Pache, Acuna.....we have a wealth of riches.

They have there Catcher now let's start preparing for life after Freeman. And Draft a 1B I think he has two years left, I’d extend him another five in a heartbeat. Freeman wants to play his entire career here. We may have 10 more years of Freeman.

Freddie deserves to be on board for this after going thru the rebuild and not complaining.

McCutchen had to be helped off the field with a knee injury. I hate that even for the phailies.

I'm a bit surprised we went two college players, and position players at that. Braden Shewmake looks like he'll get plenty of hits, hopefully the power will come along. He really swings through the zone. Shea Langeleirs for the love of God I hope he's not a miss. How many catchers have we signed that have failed? and with William Contreras struggling in May it might be the right choice for the Braves. His highlight on the draft barely showed his bat so I'll look more into his hitting.

Supposedly a very safe pick in that regard.

Other Braves boards are pretty much in meltdown. Grading F's and D's. This draft isn't that sexy so far. I like what I saw from Shea and Braden has that old school weird swing. Both have low k and walk rates. I don't hate the picks felt like we could have down better.
Beau Phillip on the other hand looks like he has way to many moving parts and looks to be a swing and miss kinda hitter. Was projected way later in the draft too.
