It is fairly well-documented at this point that the Atlanta Braves farm system is pretty thin these days. The big reason for that is pretty positive: they’ve been graduating players to the major leagues at a high rate. However, position player depth, in particular is at or near an all-time low because of the sanctions that were placed on the Braves (along with banning former General Manager John Coppolella for life from baseball). When those sanctions started to ease a bit, the first high profile international prospect the Braves signed was shortstop Ambioris Tavarez.

Coming into the 2022 season, we had Tavarez as the 19th-ranked prospect in the Braves organization.
