Drew Waters blasted the first home run of spring training for the Atlanta Braves, a mammoth shot to left-center in the opening game of the Grapefruit League exhibition season.
At the time, it might have seemed like a harbinger of things to come for the Braves’ top prospect and former second-round draft pick.
Instead, Waters made his major-league debut last month in Kansas City wearing a Royals uniform and where he’s already viewed as a potential center fielder of the future.
Waters, a 23-year-old switch-hitting outfielder and a potential five-tool force, has played in 15 MLB games for an organization to which he’s still just getting acclimated.
