Episode Notes
Host Lindsay Crosby previews the MLB Draft with Matt Powers, focusing on the Atlanta Braves’ No. 9 and No. 26 picks, the weaker early-to-mid first-round tier, and how underslot savings could shape Atlanta’s day-one approach. Powers discusses preferred fits like Jared Grindinger and Gio Rojas, evaluates Derek Curiel versus Drew Burress, outlines likely late-first-round pitching options (including Hunter Deitz and Logan Redemann), and explains why he prioritizes ceiling. They also cover combine risers (Jack Beck and others), an overslot target (Will Adams), catcher possibilities such as Ryder Helfrick, a quick-mover candidate (Chase Brunson), and a realistic top-three Braves draft scenario.
