Sunday morning marked the first day that teams were allowed to prowl about and see if draft-eligible-yet-undrafted amateur free agents would like to turn pro. In these first few hours, the Atlanta Braves have already inked three such players.
The names are not going to be familiar to most (and indeed, none of these were ranked in Baseball America's Top 500 draft prospects list). Still - they are all part of the Braves Country family now, so let's meet each one of them:
CARTER LINTON
- RHP, Tusculum University (Greeneville, TN; Division II)
- 6'/195 Senior
- Fastball sits in the low 90's; Changeup 10mph less; Curve 75-82.
