Braves Today’s 2024 Atlanta Braves prospect rankings, numbers 20-16.
Between the promotions of young players and the frequent trades to upgrade the major league roster, the farm system of the Atlanta Braves is widely considered to have fallen into the bottom third in baseball as far as quality and quantity.
But here at Braves Today, we’re bullish on both Atlanta’s talent in the minor leagues and the organization’s reputation and track record of developing that talent.
We just updated our farm system rankings for the 2024 season; here’s our scouting profiles for numbers 20 through 16 on the list, headlined by multiple pitchers that have already debuted in MLB and perhaps the toolsiest outfielder in the entire system.
(Criteria used for prospect eligibility is: less than 130 at-bats, 50 innings pitched, or 45 days on the MLB roster)The 28 year-old Winans finally got to make his debut in 2023 and seized the opportunity, with two quality starts in his six outings.
He’s a higher floor, lower ceiling option, owing to his less than stellar velocity. Winans throws both two and four-seam fastballs, sitting around 90-mph with great extension that allow them to play up slightly from their 6th-percentile velo.
