Another Atlanta Braves top prospect is moving up in the minor leagues. Right-hander and No. 6 prospect JR Ritchie is being promoted to Triple-A, per source.<\/p>\n

The report comes a day after he was the starting pitcher in the All-Star Futures Game at Truist Park. He pitched a scoreless inning, allowing no hits and a walk while striking out two to get the game underway. He threw 11 of his 19 pitches for strikes.<\/p>\n

Ritchie was also the starter for the Braves in the Spring Breakout game back in March. He’ll join his fellow Futures Game rep Hayden Harris in Triple-A Gwinnett. Harris was promoted June 10.<\/p>\n

Heading into the Futures Games, Ritchie had a 2.35 ERA across 15 starts split between High-A Rome and Double-A Columbus this season. In his most recent start on July 5, he tossed his first scoreless outing at the Double-A level, pitching five innings, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out a Double-A best eight batters.<\/p>\n

This will be his third promotion in the minors over the last 12 months as his quick rise continues.<\/p>\n

When Ritchie first heard he was heading to the Futures Game, he had a panic because he thought he was getting traded. Let alone is he not getting traded and got to start the Futures Game, he’s now receiving a promotion.<\/p>\n

Ritchie is the Braves’ No. 6 prospect in the system. He was drafted by the Braves with the 35th overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft. He was taken with a competitive balance pick during the first round. The Braves acquired the draft in a trade that sent three minor leaguers to the Kansas City Royals.<\/p>\n

He’s become one of their more intriguing prospects since he returned from recovering from Tommy John surgery a year ago. He joins Blake Burkhalter in heading to Triple-A. The 24-year-old right-hander was called up July 10.<\/p>\n
