Little Rock’s Frontline Athlete Management Boasts Five First Round Picks In MLB Draft

1 min read

Frontline Athlete Management of Little Rock continues to add to its deep roster of baseball talent.

The firm started by agent Darek Braunecker advised more first-round picks in this year’s Major League Baseball Draft than any other agency, according to sportsagentblog.com. Braunecker himself represents three of Frontline’s five first round picks, giving him the second-highest total of players in the top 33 picks.

Picks No. 4, 7, 8, 21 and 26 are Frontline clients. Based on 2012 contract information, those picks are worth about $13 million. Last year’s No. 4 pick earned $4.2 million.

Frontline is already home to pitchers (and Arkansas’ own) like A.J. Burnett, Cliff Lee, Drew Smyly and Travis Wood.  

Braunecker’s newest clients include:

  • Kohl Stewart, Pitcher, No. 4 overall, Minnesota Twins
  • Trey Ball, Pitcher, No. 7, Boston Red Sox
  • Hunter Dozier, Shortstop No. 8, Kansas City Royals

Other Frontline players selected:

  • Nick Ciuffo, Catcher, No. 21, Tampa Bay Rays
  • Rob Kaminsky, Pitcher, No. 28, St. Louis Cardinals

Here’s more on Braunecker from the Dec. 17, 2012 Arkansas Business.
