The Braves have selected Bacon with the 110th overall pick in the 2017 first-year player draft.
Analysis
A 6-foot righty out of the junior college ranks, Bacon logged 15 saves with 59 strikeouts and a 1.23 ERA in 44 innings this past season. He will likely be developed as a reliever, and could move quickly to the big leagues.
