This is a brief analysis from Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus on the Braves selection of Cody Johnson. Kevin will have more tomorrow on all of Atlanta's draft picks.
A high-risk/high-reward pick who entered the season as a top pick but had played his way out of the first round according to many. His tools--in particular his plus-power potential--ranked with the best high school players in the country, but it rarely showed up in games. He has a hitch in his swing and is raw in the outfield, despite good athleticism. Will either be a star or fizzle out before he gets to Double-A.
