Atlanta Braves Minor League system is still loaded

Many of the most prominent baseball publications recently released their top 100 prospect lists and the Atlanta Braves were a prominent fixture in all of them.

Much like the previous seasons, the Atlanta Braves are well represented on prospect rankings, which have been released over the past few weeks.

Baseball America (subscription required) came out with its rankings two weeks ago, while Baseball Prospectus and MLB Pipeline came out with their rankings last weekend.

The Braves had as many as six prospects on Baseball Prospectus’ list, with as few as four prospects on Baseball America’s version.

There were four prospects that were on all three lists: Cristian Pache, Ian Anderson, Drew Waters and somewhat surprisingly Kyle Wright.

Baseball Prospectus and MLB Pipeline ranked Shea Langeliers, who was the Braves’ first-round pick in 2019, while Baseball Prospectus ranked Kyle Muller.

While the system is still quite good, the graduations to the majors of the likes of Ronald Acuna Jr., Austin Riley, and Mike Soroka have made it not as elite as it once was.

With that being said, this is still a really deep system, especially at the higher levels where there are so many players ready to make an impact in the big leagues.

After years of having one of the worst farm systems in baseball, the Miami Marlins had four or five players in the rankings, which along with the Braves, was best in the NL East.

Tampa Bay was the consensus top farm system, as the Rays had six or seven prospects on the lists.

Let’s take a closer look at each of the players that made a list, as well as where FanGraphs projects them going forward.
