Anderson, Alexander, Pache, and Waters among 20 non-roster invitees to Spring Training

The Braves are inviting 20 non-roster players to their 2019 Spring Training adventure.

Among these players are:

  • Starting pitching prospects Ian Anderson, Kyle Muller, and Joey Wentz;
  • Relief prospects Thomas Burrows, Corbin Clouse, and Tucker Davidson;
  • Position player prospects C.J. Alexander, William Contreras, Greyson Jenista, Jonathan Morales, Cristian Pache, Austin Riley, and Drew Waters;
  • A small smattering of organizational depth.

Of these names, most are unlikely to make the final roster that will head north from Florida to kick off the 2019 season. However, Austin Riley figures to make his major league debut at some point this year, while it’s not inconceivable that Thomas Burrows and Corbin Clouse get call-ups at some point (or even potentially make the team out of Spring Training), as the Braves’ relief situation is very much in flux and will likely continue to be such throughout the year.
