"While the scouting reports are fully behind a paywall there are still some interesting tidbits for those without an account - including Baseball America's Best Tools update which has quite a few newly drafted Braves prospects. For example Conor Essenburg, the fifth round draft pick out of 2025, claims the Braves best power hitter, while Briggs McKenzie takes home best curveball, and best changeup. Not surprisingly, Alex Lodise took home best infield arm, and best defensive infielder."
"To no real surprise - pitching reigns supreme, with 8 of the top 10. Cam Caminiti tops the chart after a sensational 2025 campaign that saw him take on players older than him, and still dominate while just mainly utilizing two pitches. JR Ritchie, after a magical season that saw him work his way from A+ Rome all the way to Triple-A Gwinnett. Didier Fuentes, who found himself in Atlanta sooner than expect last season, sits at #3 overall."
Pitching dominates the Atlanta Braves' top prospect rankings, with eight of the top ten players being pitchers. Cam Caminiti sits atop the list after a sensational 2025 campaign against older competition while relying primarily on two pitches. JR Ritchie advanced from A+ Rome to Triple-A Gwinnett during a breakthrough season. Didier Fuentes reached Atlanta sooner than expected and ranks third overall. Newly drafted prospects Briggs McKenzie and Alex Lodise appear in the top six, with McKenzie also earning best curveball and changeup distinctions. Conor Essenburg claims the team's best power, and Diego Tornes posted a .279/.395/.402 line in the DSL.
