Chipper Jones won theNational League MVP Award in 1999, four years after winning aWorld Series ring . TheAtlanta Braves are aMajor League Baseball (MLB)franchise based inAtlanta, Georgia . They play in theNational League East division. Officially known as the "First-Year Player Draft",[ 1] the Rule 4 Draft is MLB's primary mechanism for assigning players from high schools, colleges, and other amateur clubs to its franchises. The draft order is determined based on the previous season's standings, with the team possessing the worst record receiving the first pick.[ 1] In addition, teams which lostfree agents in the previous off-season may be awardedcompensatory or supplementary picks .[ 2] Since the establishment of the draft in 1965, the Braves have selected 56 players in the first round.
Of those 56 players, 27 have beenpitchers , the most of any position; 15 of these were right-handed, while 12 were left-handed. The Braves have also selected eightoutfielders , sevenshortstops , fivecatchers , fourthird basemen , threefirst basemen , and twosecond basemen in the initial round of the draft.[ 3] The franchise has drafted nine players from colleges or high schools in the state ofFlorida , more than any other state. Eight more selections have come from their home state ofGeorgia .[ 3] Two selections have come from outside the 50 United States: Luis Atilano (2003) is from theCommonwealth of Puerto Rico , andScott Thorman (2000) is fromOntario , Canada.
Four of these players have won aWorld Series championship with the Braves—Kent Mercker ,Steve Avery ,Chipper Jones , andMike Kelly —all as part of the1995 championship team . The team's 1974 selection,Dale Murphy , won consecutiveNational League Most Valuable Player Awards (NL MVP) in 1982 and 1983,[ 4] theLou Gehrig Memorial Award in 1985, and theRoberto Clemente Award in 1988.[ 5] Bob Horner , the Braves' 1978 selection, won theNational League Rookie of the Year Award in the same year.[ 6] Chipper Jones , drafted by the Braves in 1990, won the NL MVP Award in 1999.[ 7] The Braves have held thefirst overall pick twice; in 1978 they used it to select Horner, and in 1990 they chose Chipper Jones.
Atlanta has made 13 selections in the supplemental round of the draft. They have also received three compensatory picks since the first draft in 1965. These additional picks are provided when a team loses a particularly valuable free agent in the previous off-season,[ 2] [ 8] [V] or, more recently, if a team fails to sign a draft pick from the previous year.[ 9] The Braves failed to sign 1995 selectionChad Hutchinson , for which they received the 35th overall pick in the 1996 draft, which they used to draftJason Marquis .[ 10]
The Braves haveretired uniform number 3 in honor ofDale Murphy (1974).[ 11] Kent Mercker (1986) threw ano-hitter against theLos Angeles Dodgers in 1994.[ 12] Jason Marquis (1996) won theSilver Slugger Award in 2005.[ 13] Scott Thorman (2000) was the first player ever drafted out of Canada in the first round of the draft by any team. Jeff Francoeur (2002) won aGold Glove Award in 2007.[ 14] Jason Heyward (2007) was named to the2010 All-Star Game in his first Major League season.[ 15] Year Name Position School (location) Pick Ref 1965 Dick Grant First baseman Watertown High School (Watertown, Massachusetts )12 [ 16] 1966 Al Santorini Right-handedpitcher Union High School (Union Township, New Jersey )11 [ 17] 1967 Andrew Finlay Outfielder Luther Burbank High School (Sacramento, California )12 [ 18] 1968 Curtis Moore Outfielder Denison High School (Denison, Texas )7 [ 19] 1969 Gene Holbert Catcher Palmyra Area High School (Palmyra, Pennsylvania )12 [ 20] 1970 Ron Broaddus Right-handedpitcher Brazosport High School (Freeport, Texas )21 [ 21] 1971 Taylor Duncan Shortstop Grant Union High School (Sacramento, California )10 [ 22] 1972 Preston Hanna Right-handedpitcher Escambia High School (Pensacola, Florida )11 [ 23] 1973 Pat Rockett Second baseman Robert E.

V Through the 2012 season,free agents were evaluated by theElias Sports Bureau and rated "Type A", "Type B", or not compensation-eligible. If a team offersarbitration to a player but that player refuses and subsequently signs with another team, the original team may receive additional draft picks. If a "Type A" free agent leaves in this way his previous team receives a supplemental pick and a compensation pick from the team with which he signs. If a "Type B" free agent leaves in this way his previous team receives only a supplemental pick.[ 71] Since the 2013 draft, free agents are no longer classified by type; instead, compensatory picks are only awarded if the team offered its free agent a contract worth at least the average of the 125 current richest MLB contracts.[ 72] However, if the free agent's last team acquired the player in a trade during the last year of his contract, it is ineligible to receive compensatory picks for that player.[ 73] a The Braves gained a compensatory first-round pick in 1980 from theMontreal Expos for losing free agentRowland Office .[ 74] b The Braves lost their first-round pick in 1983 to theNew York Mets as compensation for signing free agentPete Falcone .[ 75] c The Braves lost their first-round pick in 1993 to theChicago Cubs as compensation for signing free agentGreg Maddux .[ 76] d The Braves gained a supplemental first-round pick in 1996 for failing to sign 1995 first-round pickChad Hutchinson .[ 10] e The Braves lost their first-round pick in 1998 to theColorado Rockies as compensation for signing free agentAndrés Galarraga .[ 77] f The Braves lost their first-round pick in 1999 to theSt. Louis Cardinals as compensation for signing free agentBrian Jordan .[ 78] g The Braves gained a compensatory and a supplemental first-round pick in 2000 for losing free-agentRuss Springer to theArizona Diamondbacks .[ 79] h The Braves gained a supplemental first-round pick in 2000 for losing free agentJosé Hernández .[ 79] i The Braves gained a compensatory and a supplemental first-round pick in 2001 for losing free-agentAndy Ashby to theLos Angeles Dodgers .[ 80] j The Braves gained a supplemental first-round pick in 2002 for losing free agentSteve Karsay .[ 81] k The Braves lost their original first-round pick in 2003 to theKansas City Royals as compensation for signing free agentPaul Byrd .
