Could this be Michael Harris’ last week in Double-A?
Perhaps the most popular storyline within the Atlanta Braves minor league system so far this season has been one that we probably all saw coming. Either way, though, it has to be the amazing play of prospect outfielder Michael Harris II. Coming into the campaign as a bonafide top-tier prospect in the organization, the 21-year-old […]

Struggles with runners on has held back prospect lefty Dylan Dodd
Last year the Braves perhaps surprised some evaluators by going under-slot with its third-round pick, selecting a senior college arm out of a small school in 22-year-old lefty Dylan Dodd. Not much was known about the Southeast Missouri State product, and with a career 4.02 ERA in three collegiate seasons, Dodd wasn’t necessarily a highly […]

An org-wide sweep on Tuesday; Cal Conley and Pat Valaika provide walk-off hits
There was absolutely no shortage of offense down on the Braves farm on Tuesday. And not only did Atlanta win its series opener versus the Cubs, but all four affiliates won its respective games as well, giving us (I believe) our first organization-wide sweep of the 2022 season. Here’s a recap of all the action… […]

Bullpens shaky system-wide; M-Braves lose a crazy one on Saturday
The Braves led the Marlins on Saturday night by 5-3 through five innings, only to lose 9-7. After a solid five innings, six hits and two earned runs allowed by starter Ian Anderson, Atlanta’s bullpen went on to allow six more runs from eight additional hits, spoiling what should’ve been a tight victory over Miami. […]

Ronald Acuña Jr. picks up XBH for Gwinnett, Caleb Durbin knocks in three in Augusta win
This morning I’m about to leave for an Auburn softball game, so my time is very limited. I only have scores and stats for you today. It was a pretty good night overall on Tuesday, as the big league Braves won, as well as two of the four minor league teams. Here are scores and […]

Jared Shuster and Tanner Gordon rack up K’s, while Michael Harris just keeps hitting
Hey! Two wins a row for the big league Braves, and all of a sudden we all feel much better about the 2022 season. It was so nice to see Ian Anderson back to his usual self on Saturday, as the righty pitched a two-hitter in 5 2/3 and struck out seven, leading Atlanta to […]

M-Braves 2021 star Brooks Wilson undergoes Tommy John surgery
Part of that championship Double-A Mississippi Braves club last season, righty Brooks Wilson very rarely was hit, let alone hit hard. As a 25-year-old in 2021, Wilson struck out a whopping 73 batters in 44 innings with the M-Braves, a ridiculous average of 15.1 K/9, which among all minor league pitchers — starters and relievers […]

Mississippi’s Michael Harris nearly hits for cycle, while Rome’s offense breaks out
It was another great night for minor league baseball on Wednesday night. At the last minute yesterday evening I decided to head over to Toyota Field to watch the Rocket City Trash Pandas (Angels Double-A affiliate) take on the Pensacola Wahoos, hoping they could at least get most of the game in before the storms […]

Greyson Jenista homers twice for Stripers, prevents sweep down on the farm
I wasn’t able to preview this week’s matchups down on the farm, but Week 2 of the minor league season started last night, with all four Braves affiliates taking part in the action. Thankfully, Gwinnett was able to pull out a win, because if not, the system would’ve suffered a farm-wide sweep. Here’s a recap […]

Alan Rangel is looking to join the Braves prospect discussion in 2022
He may not be in the same group as the Mullers or the Elders of the world, but make no mistake, Alan Rangel is an trendy pitcher in the Atlanta Braves farm system. And finally, now entering his eighth season in the Braves organization, it appears that many are beginning to catch on. Rangel, who’s […]
