Two of the five Braves to make Keith Law’s Top 50 prospects — Ronald Acuna (36) and Max Fried (50) — went unranked in MLB Pipeline’s Top 100. Kind of surprising, since Acuna has really caught the eye of scouts within the last six months.
Dansby (2), Ozzie Albies (26) and Kolby Allard (32) were the other Braves to make Law’s Top 50.
Three Braves made MLB Pipeline’s 50 best: Dansby (4), Albies (11) and Kevin Maitan (32). Maitan’s high ranking is fairly stuning given he still hasn’t played an inning of professional ball.
As for the bottom 50, Law ranked Maitan 59th but he likes Ian Anderson (52) better than Pipeline, which slotted the Braves’ 2016 first-round pick at #86.
