Tomahawk Take Editor’s Note: Baseball America has released their Atlanta Braves top 10 prospects for the 2017 season. The Braves are led by Dansby Swanson and Ozzie Albies, but after that it’s six out of eight are pitchers. The other two in the top 10 that aren’t pitchers are Ronald Acuna and Kevin Maitan. We’re stock piled in pitchers and that’s not a bad thing.
It’s surprising to me that Maitan is getting so much love before having at least one at-bat…maybe he’s just that good. I didn’t rank him that high in my top 20 when we did ours on Tomahawk Take just because I haven’t seen him and he’s so young.
