The article discusses the top tools among the Atlanta Braves' prospects, focusing on the position players. Highlighting the best hitting prospect, Nacho Alvarez Jr., it notes his exceptional contact and zone recognition skills that led to high on-base percentages in the minor leagues. Despite a challenging major league debut, his development potential remains strong at the age of 21. Additionally, the piece mentions Drake Baldwin's impressive power as another top prospect, emphasizing the future potential within a system where offensive depth is increasing.
While he struggled at the major league level due to issues catching up with fastballs, his ability to make contact throughout all parts of the strike zone has been a standout trait since he was drafted.
Alvarez rarely chases out of the zone, doing a fantastic job recognizing both the edges of the zone and the pitches out of the pitcher's hand.
Alvarez may have disappointed somewhat in his major league debut, but it is important to consider that he is still only 21 years old and well ahead of the development curve.
Drake Baldwin's surge this season certainly got him in the running for this, while his impressive power skills have been noted after his performance in the minor leagues.
