It has been 1,056 days since the Braves drafted Mike Soroka. In that time, he has become of the most beloved pitching prospects in a loaded farm system.
Tonight, he makes his Major League debut against the division-rival New York Mets.
With Ronald Acuña, Jr.’s debut last Wednesday, this makes two of the highest-rated prospects in the system joining the big league team within a week. We, as a fanbase, are lucky to see the end of the rebuild come to fruition in such a manner. The days of Alberto Callaspo, Pedro Ciriaco, and Sugar Ray Marimon are no more.
