Isaiah Keon Drake (born July 15, 2005) is an American professional baseball outfielder in the Atlanta Braves organization.

As a senior in high school with teammate Antonio Anderson, he led his North Atlanta team to a 27-10 record as they advanced to the round of 16 in the state tournament.[1]

Drake played for the FCL Braves of the Florida Complex League during his rookie season in 2023.[2]

Being touted as a “prep speedster outfielder” having a cannon arm,[3] he was drafted in the fifth round of the 2023 MLB Draft by the Atlanta Braves, who got him a signing bonus of $747,500.[2]

He played 18 games for the FCL Braves in 2023, recording a .221/.321/.279 slash line in those games for an on -base plus slugging of .591.

As of February 2024, he was listed among the top 30 prospects for the Braves by Battery Power, a subsection of SB Nation made up of Braves fans.[4]
