This Sunday, the MLB Draft 2022 began where the Atlanta Braves were able to make a first-round selection, the same in which they had not participated since the 2016 edition of this important event when they chose right-handed pitcher Ian Anderson. He is part of the rotation of the current campaign.
The prospect chosen by the Atlanta Braves, who was the 20th in the entire Draft, is Owen Murphy. He has the peculiarity of being a dual position player by acting on the mound and seeing action as a hitter.
Owen Murphy was the first selection of the Atlanta Braves in the 2022 MLB Draft, a player who, although he can perform as a kind of "Shohei Ohtani," was officially selected as a pitcher for his great numbers on the mound.
The 18-year-old pitcher, who stands at 6- foot -1 and weighs 190 pounds, led all pitchers in the Pipeline Development League (PDP League) in strikeouts with ten strikeouts in four shutout innings, in addition to batting four hits in nine at-bats, including a home run in July of last year.
