"There he showed the ability to generate whiffs with the fastball, putting up a 9.88 K/9, while walking just 1.32 batters per nine. Cam was then promoted to the Augusta GreenJackets where he continued his success. The strikeout rate rose to 11.98 K/9, however we also did see a rise in his walk rate, as it sat at 4.15 BB/9."
"He showed the ability to generate whiffs from his fastball, while locating in the upper third very well - a strength 18 year olds typically don't have. Factor that in with a sweeper that he was able to gain control of against both right-handed hitters and left-handed hitters, while throwing it to both sides of the plate - and Cam set us up for a 2026 to remember."
Cam Caminiti is a 19-year-old left-handed pitcher in the Atlanta Braves system ranked No. 10 among minor league left-handers. The organization reduced his curveball usage and emphasized fastball and sweeper control. He advanced quickly, showing a fastball that generates whiffs and locates in the upper third, plus a sweeper effective against both right- and left-handed hitters. Cam began the year with four FCL starts while returning from a small offseason injury, posting 9.88 K/9 and 1.32 BB/9. After promotion to Augusta his K/9 rose to 11.98 and BB/9 to 4.15, finishing with a 2.08 ERA and 2.74 FIP. A pitching-coach change could influence future development.
