Three Braves make ESPN Top 100 Prospects

"a young pitcher who got into the mid-90s among the earliest in his class but chose to develop as a strike thrower with multiple average-or-better pitches rather than a velo-chasing circus act also speaks to Caminiti's mindset and maturity. He tweaked and improved his breaking ball when he was told it was a weaker part of his scouting report during the draft process, another key marker for projecting future improvement."

"Caminiti's scouting report -- 92-95, touching 97 mph with solid shape, an improving but roughly average sweepy slider, and a roughly average changeup -- isn't overwhelming at the moment, but he's the right kind of prospect with the right markers for future growth and scouts are expecting a breakthrough in the next few years. I thought Caminiti should add an upper-80s cutter to round out his repertoire and asked someone who would know, and it turns out we'll be seeing that in 2026; the early data looks positive."

ESPN/Kiley McDaniel placed Cam Caminiti at #53 on the Top 100 list with a 50 FV and noted his projectable, athletic left-handed profile. Caminiti's fastball sits 92-95 mph, touches 97, and shows solid shape. The slider and changeup are currently roughly average but improving, and an upper-80s cutter was added in 2026 with promising early data. Scouts value his strike-throwing approach, pitchability, and willingness to improve weaker offerings. McDaniel projects a likely breakthrough in coming years, with Caminiti as a solid back-end starter at minimum and front-line starter upside if development continues. Didier Fuentes was also included at #88 as a fastball-dominant starter.
