For a long time, the Rome Braves was where prospects began their journey into full season baseball as the Braves’ low-A affiliate. However, after the recent consolidation and subsequent reorganization of the minor leagues, Rome found themselves as the organization’s high-A affiliate last season and they continue that designation in 2022. While we are all still figuring out the “new normal” in terms of development paths for prospects given the consolidation, it is safe to say that there will be no shortage of talent coming through Rome both this season and in the future.
That said, the initial group at Rome this year isn’t particularly deep on either side of the ball just yet in terms of top end talent.
