Atlanta Braves Make Carter Holton’s Childhood Dream Come True

Growing up as a young baseball player in Guyton, Carter Holton was naturally a huge fan of his home state team, the Atlanta Braves.

As a freshman at Benedictine, it was immediately apparent that Holton was a special player. Blessed with natural talent, he also had the work ethic and passion for the game that allowed him to rise through the ranks of baseball. He committed to Vanderbilt before the start of his sophomore season and continued to shine on the mound for the Commodores over the last three seasons.

On Sunday, in his second round of the MLB draft, Holton’s childhood aspirations came to fruition when the Braves selected the left-hander in the second round with the 62nd pick of the 2024 MLB draft.
