A new MLB.com article by Jim Callis titled ranking this year’s rookies by long-term value was written and prominently features some of the young members of the Braves organization in high places. Three Braves made the list of 30 names, tied with the Royals for the most in the league.
It should surprise no one that the top two choices from Callis are Julio Rodriguez of Seattle, followed by Baltimore catcher Adley Rutschman. It’s hard to argue with either of those players in these spots after JRod turned in a historically great age-21 season this year, and Rutschman is already entering the conversation for the top catcher in all of baseball.
