The Atlanta Braves have one of the top prospects in the game — MLB Pipeline’s #6 ranked prospect — and he’s almost ready for his MLB debut.
20-year-old, Ronald Acuna, seems ready for the next step in his professional career. Depending on how he performs during the 2018 Spring Training, he could be in Atlanta on Opening Day.
It’s also possible the Braves send him to Gwinnett to start the 2018 season in hopes to gain another year of control. If he dominates in ST, it will be tough to send him down.
It didn’t take long for new GM Alex Anthopoulos to realize he has something special as well.
