Baseball America (an others) think the Braves had a below average Draft.

Not a bad Draft. But just not what it could have been. I know they're targeting #26.

But they don't seem to give them as much credit for 3rd rounder Hirsh. Maybe because they paid him $ 4 million.

We must be reading different things over at BA - the draft review they dropped on Wednesday had Hirsch as their favorite pick. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/atlanta-braves-2026-mlb-draft-review/

I saw one online site that "graded" all 30 drafts.

I remember Braves were 25th.

Milwaukee was 30th. 24 higher grades.

Just go online looking for MLB Draft Grades. Think for yourself.

Sorry, was just checking - you mentioned Baseball America specifically so I was looking to see if you noticed a writer that had a different opinion from the staff consensus in their official review

"Final Thought

Braves are favored in the n, as they are in virtually"

Lindsay, not sure what word the n was supposed to be...but pretty clear it wasn't what you intended.

It was supposed to be "opener" - gosh darn dumb mistakes
