The Braves will have the 9th and 21st picks in the 2019 Draft.

The club got the 21st pick after finishing the season with a 90-72 mark. It was the team’s best finish since 2013, and the team was primarily built through previous drafts and international free agent spending.

After failing to sign Carter Stewart last summer after selecting him with the 8th pick, the Braves will receive pick No. 9 as compensation.

The Baltimore Orioles will select first after finishing with an unfathomable 47-115 record. They will be followed by the Royals, White Sox, Marlins and Tigers.

While it’s still early in the draft and scouting process, the two high picks should provide the Braves’ front office and scouting department with plenty of financial flexibility as they identify their draft day targets. As we know, it’s not so much about the pick(s) you have but the allotted slot money that comes with each of the picks.

The 2019 Draft will be held in June. Talking Chop will have all of the draft coverage you need over the next nine months.
