In the first of 30 organizational deep dives, Carlos Collazo and J.J. Cooper take an in-depth look at the Atlanta Braves farm system.
They look at what the Braves have produced lately, why they are so pitching heavy and what holes they can’t fill internally. They also talk about some of the team’s top prospects and a lesser-know prospect to keep an eye on.
