An overview of the 10 Atlanta Braves’ prospects making the Fangraphs’ top 100

The most-recent prospect leaderboard is fresh out of the oven, and the Atlanta Braves have several young players included in this year’s rankings.

For you Atlanta Braves fans that don’t read up on a lot of baseball in your spare time, but would like to – there is an outstanding place to do this sort of thing. Fangraphs is a website that specializes in Major League Baseball statistics.

The site puts out several articles daily that inform readers of all kinds of different aspects of Major League Baseball, including stats, sabermetrics and prospect news. It’s a great place to learn the growing advancement of the sport.

If you have read any of my articles lately, you will see me reference Fangraphs a lot. They are, in my opinion, a lot like Baseball Reference, except that Fangraphs provides actual content to read – not just stats.

This all leads up to the topic at hand: Prospects! 

If you follow the Atlanta Braves, then you most likely are aware of the world-class minor league organizations that the Atlanta Braves provide. For multiple years now the Braves have ranked near the top, or at the top, of numerous minor league prospect rankings as a whole.

Today I want to look at the Braves’ prospects once more as a result of Fangraphs’ latest top-100 Major League Baseball prospect rankings. The rankings were published on February 13th (this past Wednesday), and as you can tell by the title – the Braves did very well.

Each page will feature a player that made the top-100 list in the order in which they were selected. The player-page will be somewhat of a refresher on the player, while also including their 2018 and previous season’s stats.

I will add some subjective commentary as well, but will limit my opinion to players that I’ve actually seen play.

So lets see how the Braves did!
