\"Braves<\/p>\n

Despite a farm system that has consistently been ranked near the bottom of the league, the Braves churn out young talent like no other organization.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a testament to their ability to draft and develop, and the next crop of stars will participate in the All-Star Futures Game at Truist Park.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t see a lot of relievers typically in top 30 prospect rankings, but Hayden Harris deserves all of the love and is one of the most talented arms on the farm.<\/p>\n

In 24 appearances between AA-AAA, he boasts a 0.61 ERA and is striking out a ridiculous 13.3 batters per nine innings. He\u2019s also yet to allow a run in seven appearances for Gwinnett since receiving a promotion.<\/p>\n

The Braves bullpen has been better of late, so there hasn\u2019t been any reason to rush Hayden Harris to the major-league level.<\/p>\n

However, he\u2019s as ready as he\u2019ll ever be. When an opportunity arises at some point this season in Atlanta, don\u2019t be surprised if he gets the chance to make his MLB debut.<\/p>\n

JR Ritchie was the 35th pick of the Braves back in 2022.<\/p>\n

Tommy John surgery cost him most of the 2023 and 2024 campaigns, but he\u2019s finally back to full strength and looking the part of a first-round pick so far this season. In 14 starts between A+-AA, he owns a 2.51 ERA.<\/p>\n

Ritchie is another guy who could potentially make his MLB debut as early as this season.<\/p>\n

Not because he\u2019s necessarily ready, but the Braves are desperate for starting arms in wake of injuries to AJ Smith-Shawver, Chris Sale, and Reynaldo Lopez.<\/p>\n

If Didier Fuentes and Bryce Elder continue to struggle, the Braves may be forced to throw a guy like Ritchie into the fire and see if it leads to better results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
