Happy Kevin Maitan Day everyone. After being strongly linked to the Braves since the spring of 2015, the much hyped 17 year old Venezuelan super prospect finally made his debut in a Braves uniform today after sitting out last week due to a minor hamstring issue. Maitan only came to the plate twice before being removed(along with other key guys), but it’s fair to say he did not disappoint in his debut.
Maitan wasn’t the only Braves hitter making news, as Freddie Freeman had a big night in his rehab assignment and Ronald Acuna showed why he belongs in the Futures Game.
