Braves get the NINTH Pick in the 2026 MLB Draft
The Atlanta Braves wind up with the ninth pick in the MLB draft. Quite disappointing. Jake Mastiano from Lockton Braves and this was a big day for the Atlanta Braves. You had a chance to get a really high pick in the upcoming draft. They had the sixth highest odds for the first overall pick, hoping at least you were going to be in the top six, the top five. Instead, they get the ninth spot in the draft with the draft lottery system we have now. So, it’s still a top 10 pick. They’re going to get a good player. They’re going to have plenty of bonus pool money to use with that 26th overall pick they get from the Drake Ball winning the rookie of the year. But certainly we’re hoping for much better than this. There’s four really good shorts stops in this draft and I don’t know if they’re going to be able to land one of them at number nine. Be some other great talent as well that we’ll talk about on the next episode of Lockdown Braves. But bit of a disappointing result here with the draft lottery coming in at number nine. We’ll talk more about this on the next episode of a locked on braves.
Despite having the sixth-best odds for the number one pick, the Atlanta Baves end up picking ninth in the upcoming 2026 MLB Draft.

really sucks
I wished it could’ve been a top 5 pick but at least its tenth, but now i wouldn’t give away that 26th pick if i were then
To take an underslot player
Too bad the team was trying to win games in September.
Get ready to go under-slot for a HS pitcher that won’t play till 2028
Goes right along with past couple of seasons and off seasons.. I hope we do something big soon.. starting to feel like 2024 off season.. lots of talk and nothing happens
Let's make sure we dont mess this up
All rigged
wentThrougt this horrible season to get the 9th pick 🤮
The Braves aren’t contributing to their “luck” by being cheap and NOT spending money.
Really, 9th pick but at least Baldwin won the Rookie of the Year award. Braves need a big splash in free agency now. Kyle Schwarber is off the boards which that's on the front office on not being aggressive. Can we get Pete Alonso? A big time player that can change the mood of the clubhouse.
They starting winning when there was no hope thanks Snit
