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 […]

Minor League pitch clocks appear to be working
I’m not necessarily on board with all these new changes headed for baseball, but it looks like at least one thing seems to be working beautifully so far: pitch clocks.

Kyle Wright is using ALL his tools
Following the 2017 MLB Draft, the Braves thought for sure they had selected a future rotation ace.

Another big year should solidify Austin Riley’s place among MLB’s best third basemen
The 2021 season was magical for many reasons, none more incredible of course than the Braves World Series win in October.
