Braves: Most Exciting Prospects to Watch in Spring Training

With pitchers and catchers reporting this week we take a look at some of the most exciting prospects from the Atlanta Braves you should be watching. 

There are always several reasons to be excited about Spring Training for the Atlanta Braves. But for a lot of us who love prospects, it’s seeing the up-and-coming talent that we’re most excited about.

For your star players who know they have a spot in the lineup already, Spring Training is just a way for them to get ramped up for the regular season.

But for the young guys, it’s a chance for them to showcase their talent against Major League players in front of the big league coaching staff — and the fans.

There is even more anticipation for see Braves’ prospects this year after there wasn’t a minor league season in 2020 and we got very little coverage from the alternate training site.

For many, this will be their first chance to show the improvements they’ve made over the past year.

Guys like Drew Waters and Tucker Davidson who are knocking on the door of the big leagues will use this time to try and impress the coaches so they’ll consider them for a possible call-up later in the year.

Unfortunately, I’m not sure we’ll have the kind of video coverage that we’re used to seeing in Spring Training. Televised games may be very limited.

But at the very least, the beat reporters should be on hand to give their opinions on the young guys in camp — who is in the best shape of their lives.

Here are some of the prospects I’m most looking forward to seeing this Spring.
