"He continued to struggle making contact which resulted in a .213 walk rate, and struck out a ton with a strikeout rate sitting at a mammoth 35%. His walk rate was still outstanding, though it was a career low 14.9%. The result - a batting average of .213 but an OBP of a respectable .343. The power also saw a minor uptick as he hit a career high 7 homers, and an ISO of .129."
"A 35% strikeout rate in Low-A simply isn't getting the job done. Douglas has continued to struggle making contact on a regular basis and as a result will likely return to Low-A to start his fifth season.2026 Outlook It's important to note that Douglas is still just 20 years old. Lots of players his age are still in college, and he left his home country of Venezuela at just 17 years of age."
"Douglas Glod was signed by the Braves during the 2022 International Free Agency Period for $1.3M. He was given the second biggest bonus by the Braves that year, with Diego Benitez signing for $2.5M. Given his struggles in his first three seasons, there weren't many expectations for Douglas. He was a Top 50 international free agent when he signed, but has since struggled across each level."
Douglas Glod signed with the Atlanta Braves in the 2022 international free agent period for $1.3M and received the team's second-largest bonus that year. Early career struggles limited expectations despite a Top 50 prospect ranking at signing. In 2025 he displayed improved plate discipline, producing a .343 OBP while batting .213, but a 35% strikeout rate curtailed overall production and left him with a 109 wRC+. Power rose slightly to a career-high seven homers. At 20 years old and having left Venezuela at 17, continued adjustment and development remain central to his outlook.
