Atlanta Braves select Kenyan Drake’s brother in the 5th round of MLB Draft

Kenyan Drake is a free agent, but he made things happen as a running back at the University of Alabama and the NFL.

He was a two-time national champion (2012, 2015) for the Crimson Tide, but Drake has a sibling that is making waves. 

The Atlanta Braves are continuing to build their team through the Major League Baseball Draft in hopes of getting more homegrown talent to lead it to the World Series Championships.

Isaiah Drake, Kenyan’s younger brother, got selected in the fifth round by the Braves in the MLB Draft. According to mlb.com, Drake was committed to Georgia Tech but this move may mean he wants to play for the Braves rather than attend college.

The 17-year-old has been playing with a collegiate summer minor league program, Trenton Thunder.

It will be fun to see what Isaiah becomes on the diamond after watching Kenyan succeed on the gridiron.
