As Battery Power prepares to unveil its top 30 prospects, there's a retrospective focus on the Atlanta Braves’ prospects from the previous season who are no longer eligible. The article highlights Spencer Schwellenbach as an unexpectedly dominant rookie, surpassing all expectations after being promoted directly from the minor leagues. Daysbel Hernandez's potential was overlooked, and his strong, albeit underused, performance reveals missed opportunities by the Braves. The article underscores a dynamic prospect development landscape within the Braves' organization, especially focusing on pitching talent nuances.
I had expected Schwellenbach to move through Rome quickly and then really make his name at Mississippi, but the Braves flew him straight into Atlanta after just eight total starts and two in Mississippi.
Daysbel Hernandez did not rank on our preseason top 30 last year and that's certainly looking like a whiff on our end. Last season in 18 innings he posted a 2.50/2.11/3.45 ERA/FIP/xFIP while striking out a team-leading 35.1% of batters faced.
