The Atlanta Braves added to their young core of pitching talent Sunday when they selected high-schooler Cam Caminiti in the first round of the MLB Draft.

Caminiti went 24th overall to the Braves, who picked up a high-value player that MLB.com ranked as the No. 15 available prospect. The 6-foot-2, 195-pound left-hander from Saguaro (Ariz) High is the cousin of former National League MVP Ken Caminiti.
