With a pitcher heavy draft the GCL Braves will be loaded with pitching talent, while some international players will provide a potentially huge offensive boost to the system.
While the games in the upper minor leagues have been raging for 2 and a half months now, the two lowest stateside teams for the Braves have yet to suit up in official game action. Once the all star break ends, the rookie GCL Braves and Danville Braves start their seasons on teams filled with recent draftees, international players, and some of last year’s holdovers. Danville opens play on June 23, and the next day the GCL Braves will play their first game.
