Atlanta Braves Linked to Rare Switch Pitcher by 2 Insiders

Momentum builds around the Atlanta Braves and Mississippi State's Jurrangelo Cijntje.

As the 2024 MLB Draft grows closer, the picture surrounding the Atlanta Braves is becoming clearer - and a favorite option may be emerging.And according to ESPN, the Braves at No. 24 are where any potential slide will end for Cijntje.The 5-11, 200-pound Cijntje was drafted two years ago by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 18th round as a shortstop but instead honored his commitment to the Bulldogs, where he quickly earned a big role.

The Pembroke Pines, Fla., native proved much stronger this season, posting a 3.67 ERA and 8-2 record across 16 games, all starts. He logged 90.2 innings, striking out 113 while walking only 30. The younger Cijntje has grown to prominence for being able to pitch - and dominate - with both hands.
