Introducing Cody Miller<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Cody Miller might seem like he came out of no where to be the Braves pick, but he put up a .331\/.430\/.623 season with 18 homers and 27 steals for East Tennessee State.<\/p>\n

Went to the Cape and has produced a .783 OPS with 3 homers in just 20 games. He\u2019s got some solid power and speed.<\/p>\n

The hit tool can use some work, especially what he did against better competition in the Cape with his 17 strikeouts in 79 plate appearances being a jump in strikeouts, and against just 5 walks.<\/p>\n

Defensively he has played short for ETSU, but has a history of playing all over the place and brings versatility.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s a guy who has shown he can make adjustments so far in his career, and while he comes in as a bit off the radar this high, does have some valuable skills.<\/p>\n

First Reaction<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s not much left to complain about if you were looking for the Braves to draft position players.<\/p>\n

They cleaned their entire board off with shortstops, and went with a player who had a breakout season in 2025.<\/p>\n

With athletic options now at the position the Braves have really helped shore up the concerns about their shortstop depth and given themselves plenty of developmental lottery tickets.<\/p>\n

In addition, Atlanta should have plenty of money to spend on day two, giving them the option to repeat past years and go well over slot on a few players.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
