The Atlanta Braves traded starting pitcher Lucas Harrell and relief pitcher Dario Alvarez to the Texas Rangers for a prospect named Travis Demeritte. The 21-year-old was listed on MLB.com as the #20 prospect on the Texas Rangers heading into the season. A right-handed power bat, yes please!
He’s played the majority of his professional time at second base, but can also play third and short. Yesterday after the trade, Braves General Manager hinted at a possible move to the outfield for Demeritte.
Since he’s a newcomer to our beloved Braves, I wanted to get more information about the player and the person.
