Kuehler drafted by Atlanta Braves

BUIES CREEK - Cade Kuehler was drafted 70th overall during the second competitive balance round by the Atlanta Braves Sunday night in the MLB Draft. Kuehler is the fourth highest pick in program history, and the third pick in the first two rounds for Campbell in the last two years.

Kuehler was a Big South first-team pitcher in 2023, going 8-1 with a team-best 2.71 ERA on the hill. He compiled 243 career strikeouts, the third-most in program history and the only pitcher in the program's top 10 to reach that mark in just three seasons. 

The Waxhaw, N.C. native wraps up his Campbell career with a 17-9 record on the bump with 3.53 ERA across 201.0 IP. He has eight career starts of striking out 10+, and only surrendered five or more earned runs in four of his 45 career appearances. 

The junior righty is the 45th player to ever be drafted out of Campbell and the 13th since Justin Haire took over the program in 2015. 

Kuehler follows Thomas Harrington (R1, P36) and Seth Johnson (R1, P41) as the highest-selected pitchers out of Campbell. 

He becomes the fifth Camel to be drafted by the Braves and the first since Matt Marksberry in 2013, who went on to reach The Show with the organization. 

The MLB Draft continues with rounds 3-10 on Monday and 11-20 on Tuesday. Follow @GoCamelsBSB on social media for continued draft coverage.
