"Nacho Alvarez Jr. currently ranks 16th in the league in OPS, sitting at .917. He's appeared in 17 of the games and has hit .306/.449/.468, including a 5-for-5 game less than a week ago. He was a surprise addition to the AFL roster, considering his MLB experience, but after an injury laden season the Braves wanted him to get some more work in this season and it has worked quite well."
"Luke, a 6'8" pitching machine out of the University of Indiana, made his professional debut this season with lots of success. Luke absolutely dominated Rome (0.92 ERA across 7 games) before being promoted to Augusta. In Augusta he faced a little more adversity with his ground ball rate dropping to 39%, which was a factor in his ERA jumping all the way up to 4.19, but his FIP still sat at 3.09."
The Arizona Fall League All-Star Game is three days away and two Braves prospects made the National League roster. Nacho Alvarez Jr. has produced a .917 OPS, hitting .306/.449/.468 across 17 games with a recent 5-for-5 performance, earning extra developmental reps after an injury-plagued season. Luke Sinnard, a 6'8" right-hander, dominated at Rome (0.92 ERA) before facing tougher contact in Augusta, where his ground-ball rate fell to 39% and ERA rose to 4.19 while FIP held at 3.09. Sinnard excelled in the AFL overall (3.86 ERA) but will be inactive for the All-Star Game.
