"Perhaps the most impressive has been 2024 20th round pick, Canadian centerfielder Eric Hartman. Hartman joined Baseball America's top 100 prospects list and for due reason. He has been absolutely raking, to the tune of a 182 wRC+ and a .695 SLG. Hartman is well known for elite speed, but his power and exit velocities have been arguably most impressive this season and what the Baseball America crew discussed as important to this ranking so early in the season."
"Walt Weiss gave a number of injury updates that were generally positive or neutral on Ronald Acuna, Spencer Schwellenbach, Hurston Waldrep, Eli White, and Joe Jimenez. Weiss also discussed the need for adjustments to the team's baserunning, as pickoffs stack up."
"Braves' legend Max Fried left his start Wednesday with left elbow discomfort, but he did not seem to think it would be anything more than a short term issue. Mets' catcher Francisco Alvarez received meniscus surgery and may miss around two months."
