The Atlanta Braves tonight selected OF Greyson Jenista from Wichita State University with the 49th overall pick in the 2018 First-Year Player Draft. 
Jenista, 21, hit .309 (63-for-204) with 54 runs, nine home runs and 38 RBI in 56 games. Over his three-year career with the Shockers, he batted .318 (192-for-604) with 23 home runs and 111 RBI in 171 games.
The 6-foot-4, 220-pound native of Eudora, Kansas, made 56 starts in the field this season, including 32 in centerfield, 21 at first base and three in left field. 
Jenista, who bats left-handed and throws right-handed, entered the draft ranked by Baseball America as the 29th overall prospect. He was named the MVP of the Cape Cod League last summer after batting .310/.391/.401.
Jenista is the highest collegiate outfielder drafted by Atlanta since 1991, when the club selected Mike Kelly second overall out of Arizona State University. 
Atlanta drafted RHP Carter Stewart from Eau Gaillie High School in Melbourne, Fla., eighth overall with its first selection tonight. The Braves' next pick is 112 overall in the fourth round tomorrow afternoon. The club will then select eighth in each round through the draft's conclusion.
